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.

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'

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.
