I remember getting some DC preview comic years ago which talked up the then-upcoming series. The art samples were clearly by a different art team and the costumes were completely different (and superior) to what was eventually used. Why things changed, I don't know.

Everyone knows the LSH is infamous for dropping everything to erect a golden statue for a fallen comrade. This FACEOFF celebrates those golden statues, from 3 distinct eras... ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/MLLASH/300px-Legion_of_Super-Heroes_Vol-11.jpg) VS. ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/MLLASH/300px-Legion_of_Super-Heroes_Vol-13.jpg) VS. ![[Linked Image]](http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/MLLASH/72-1.jpg)

I like all three... but #33 is the best.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

I like #33, especially the upward lighting, but #72 does it for me. To me sorry and despair are quiet feeling that pull a person within where they are hard to reach, and LSH #72 reflects that. The rending of garments like in #274 strikes me as contrived and disingenuous.

To my eyes, 33 is atmospheric and beautiful.

274, 'cause of the little dance that Lightning Lad is inexplicably doing.
(Actually, 'cause of the Cockrum costumes. I'm a pushover for Jeckie in that whackie outfit.)

The 3rd one easily has the best artwork, but it's funny. I don't even remember it. Who are the other 2 statues? I"m thinking one is Laurel. Is the other Apparition?

It's def between 33 and 72 for me. I think it would be an easy choice if 33 weren't marred somewhat by the pointy caption.
Aw, I'll pretend it's not there and go with 33. I like the mood caused by the neat lighting effect better.
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

Agreed! I can't get past it in that form, though. So, I vote for #72
A singin' and a dancin'
along the way.

Hmm. The arrow-caption never bothered me til you guys pointed it out. Now it does.
But I still LOVE that cover. The sunset, the falling leaves, the up-lighting... I swear I can feel a It's-FINALLY-getting-cooler November breeze on my face when I look at it.

#274 for me,Buckler does a great job on the grieving Legionnaires,the other 2 covers are kind of boring to me.
I did buy all of these issues when they came out,the latter two I just had no emotional attachment to,I guess I look at it like Jo vs. James,and even though James get two tries,Jo gets my vote.
I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman.
But they won't.
