Legion World Forums LEGION CLUBHOUSE The Legion of Super-Heroes LSH cover FACEOFF!!!

FIRST TALLY:

Dream Girl cover... 11 votes

Time Trapper cover. 3 votes

Orphanage cover.... 7 votes


I can't see enough votes coming in tonight to keep the Dream Girl/Adventure 317 from the win!

I think it's safe to call this: ADV 317 wins!

Let's move on to an all-special special-request Face-Off... choose your ONE favorite of these THREE:




Vs.





Vs.

The others wouldn't even exist w/o Adv.300, so it's my choice.
Plus, imagine being a kid in 1960-whatever, going to the drugstore, and seeing the Legion flying off that cover!!
It must'a been MAGIC!!

Yeah, I've got to go with the original: Adv. #300!

So hard to choose between Adv 300 and LSH 301!

But it's Adventure 300, by a nose.

Mon-El joins the Legion pushes 300 over the top, but I love LSH 301 as well. That was one of Shady's better looks.

The other one, hmm. The first two made a point of keeping the power displays by Garth, Dirk and Jan unobtrusive, but this cover has Dirk and Garth's heads sticking out of clouds of fire and lightning. An interesting stylistic difference.

I choose The Bierbaum's LSH 41.

It features Catspaw and I loved Sprouse's take on the Legionnaires.

My vote goes to ADV 300 for being the original

LSH 301 features some of my favourite looks for Shady, Vi and T-Wolf. Cham front and centre, the most alien looking member to represent a legion of supposedly foreign worlds.

It's no surprise that the fans here, would choose the original most often!

And I DID see and like that cover in 1960!
I was a very inpressionable 9 years old at the time.
sigh

But, the Sprouse cover is super dynamic!
And I love it.

However, I think I'm going to vote for #301 because of who is pictured and that little Vi leaning up against the silly DC slogan!

Another tough choice but I think I'm going to have to go with LoSH #41.

Adventure #300 gets props for being the original annd LoSH #301 has a good mix of Legionnaires and Vi looks cute leaning against the barcode like that... but LoSH #41 has taken the format established by the other two and really brought it to life IMO. The Legionnaires in action is a lot more exciting than the 'just standing around' pose that the others have them in. Plus Sprouse managed to squeeze a few more members in.

You're not making this easy, Lash. I'm a sucker for these types of covers.

But, aside from being almost impossibly retro-cool, 300's blurb about Mon-El joining the team is pert near priceless.

#300

(Hell, I'd even wear that cover on a t-shirt)

I *love* the shot of the HQ in Sprouse's cover with the additional members and Gim standing there!

For me it is between Adventure 300 and Legion of Superheroes 301.

300 has the draw of being the original. But the thing I like about 301 is how Giffen incorporated the UPC box into the drawing with Vi leaning against it.


So I vote for Legion of Superheroes 301

I'm going with 301. Just like teh characters featured, and the poses that are used from the original transfered to new characters.

Adv 300 is a close second with L41 right on it's heals.

Great choices for this request.

I was going to vote for 300, but you've swayed my vote to 301. I also like the whimsy of Vi leaning against the UPC box. Also, #301 is a Superboy-less cover, representing that the Legion has grown up and is on its own. I also agree with others that Shady's costume is one of her best; same with Jan.

The Sprouse cover is more dynamic, but it represents the Legion regressing (being teenagers again). 301 represents the culmination of the preboot era: this, to me, was the Legion at its best.

You can't beat those classic Curt Swan covers. Avoid imitations! Buy only ORIGINAL Legiony goodness.

Adventure #300. I'm swooning for Swan.

I have to go with the original. And maybe I'm confused, but isn't that actually YERA as Violet?

You're right! It is.

That does not change my vote, however; covers are always meant to be symbolic.

Oh I know and I agree. I just find it amusing that apparently one of Vi's favorite looks was never actually worn by her.

thank god you did not include all the new Adventure Comics #1 to #7 or #8 whatever it is...otherwise I would chose any cover of Adv Comics to win.

So I chose #41 just because..... heh.

FIRST TALLY:


Adventure 300 (Swan): 8 votes

LSH 301 (Giffen): 5 votes

LSH 41 (Sprouse): 3 votes


I'd say this is still up in the air...

301.

Gotta' go with my own era.

LoSH 41. It's much more dynamic.. and it has Catspaw!!!

Adventure Comics #300 for me.
