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

Why does Light Lass have a shoulder bag labeled "oxygen"?

She's inside an area that simulates the poisonous air of Angtu, hence the need for a breather.

i always take my purse into action.

he he

231.

although any cover that says 'attack him' referring to superboy is close competition.

Love them both. #231 for the win, though. I like the layout a bit better. I know I've praised Grell's Superboy in earlier contests. This is my first chance to get all excited about his Mon-El.

i don't like either enough to pick one;

231

Love them both. #231 just a little more though.

I never realized how similar these covers were.

I'll go with # 219. The pink sky and alien landscape is eye-catching. This issue also contains a cutaway diagram of a Legion cruiser, one of the bonus features that made reading the Legion so fun in those days.

The sun (?) on the cover of #231 is kind of distracting, but, if you can ignore it, you get Legionaries in classic battle mode.

My favorite part of #219 is the banner across the top.

#231

In the previous round I would have voted for the Superboy's Legion cover. I liked the story in the other one better but that cover has some pretty ugly colours happening and I much prefer covers that hint at a story rather than posed pin-up ones like that one.

This round is hard because though I definitely think #231 is the superior cover in almost every way, my eyes just like #219 better.

So #219 for me.

I vote #231!!!! why? because that is the FIRST Legion book that I bought with MY OWN hard-earned ALLOWANCE on my own at old 7-11 convenience store.

231 for me

First off, Grell's art on both covers rocks!
Secondly, S&LSH #219 was the first comic book I ever bought (from the corner variety store back in the 70's), just like Superboymddjr above with his #231! So I have to give the two thumbs up to #219 purely for nastolgia's sake and also the fact that I fell in love with the Legion after reading it so it soley is responsible for my passion for the book ever since.

Ummm... even though #231 was a far better story.

231, though who is Mon-El about to chest-bump?

231 has more action.

I think it was also one of my first legion buys, yet i think i got it in some sort of giant size reprint comic or something.

but most likely at 7-11

haha

I see which direction the winds of fate are blowing here... FINAL TALLY:

LSH 219... 6 votes

LSH 231... 18 votes

Next Face-Off coming in moments... I'm glad I decided to add this round...!

#219
I like that Validus has a facial expression and almost, a face!
And the thing I hate about Grell is least evident in that cover.

ROUND (FATAL) 5!



VS.

Adventure...

Adventure.

my 7 year old son wants to vote for LSH 78. (and would have voted for 219, also.)

78, if only that Vi is the coolest-looking on either cover.

The original...although Davis did do an excellent rendition.

(Someone explain to me why they couldn't have Emerald Empress in the reboot again? Was the Emerald Violet story that important?!?)
