34. I didn't care for the character, but I liked her better in the Mon-El/Supergirl outfit. The perspective on 14 has Violet *between her legs, under her loincloth.* Wow. That's certainly cheeky.

Personally I would have gone for her origin issue in Vol 4 #9.
But of the choices here I choose 34.

I  Andromeda's orange/black costume and #66 showcases it the best so I'm tempted to vote for that one... ... but I'm gonna go with #14 because Adam Hughes is just a better penciller than whoever drew the other two.

Easily #66. Didn't like the "Mon-el Lass" costume and #14 is pretty generic, while #66 is in your face and begs you to buy it and see her make sparks fly all over the place.

I'm a sucker for the Valor-Girl look. Can't help it. # 34.
SOS, I'll use that cover in a later face-off, it is a beauty.

34 anytime.
love pearson's gestural drawing. and the graphic design of the page has a lot of action, tension, and even some story telling.

LSH #34: What's up with her hair?
LSH #66: "So am I in or what?" Uh, since you're wearing a Legion belt, I guess you are!
Legionnaires #14: Clearly, goofy looking footwear spelled the doom of the SW6 Legion. I just noticed the shadowy figure in the logo (I don't think I ever did before!). Is that Lyle?
Determined grit, ticked-off jerkface or flag-bearing hope? Think I'll go with Legionnaires #14 (though I think it's shadowy Lyle that put me over...) with Mon-el Lass close behind. I'm just not fond of the facial expressions on #66 (Jenni and Ayla and Gim's-- though Brainy's almost makes up for it.)

I'm not much of a Pearson fan, thanks for confirming the cover artists, MLLASH.
Normally, I'd pick AH! (almost everytime, really) but I'm going with Moder this time.
Everybody's expressions are pretty fabulous and funny.
Not many covers pull off 'funny'.
That's #66.
A singin' and a dancin'
along the way.

I never noticed that either... OR the shadowy figure in the LEGIONNAIRES 14 logo!

34.
I never liked the "Andromeda as xenophobe" storyline and the Moder cover just brings it to mind. The AH cover is so awkwardly posed. Makes me think he should just stick to static pin-up style pieces (though I know he's done better work since).
Did Hughes do much work before his Legion/Legionnaires covers or was he another famous artist that we launched upon the world?
Edited: Whoops! Got my numbers mixed up...

I think his Justice League (America) work was the first time i saw him do his lovely babes. (Fire, Ice, even a female Dr. Fate) which was prior to Legion. He was the semi regular after Maguire, and Templeton, and luke mcdonnel and he did (part of?) an X-men annual or giant size back in the day.

He started on an indie called THE MAZE AGENCY prior to JL.

Though I really like the concept of 34, I think they missed the mark.
I'm going with 66 for its humor.
