Hi Guys
Just pencils and inks this month - I think my thumbnails would probably end all the speculation I'm enjoying tease

Hope you like the scans!

Thanks Barry! Beautiful work as always!

My new guesses for the background quad are Supergirl, Cosmic Boy, Dream Girl (with her new look) and Brainiac 5.

Thanks Barry.

As though there is less things on the cover than usual, it must have been harder than the other to do this one, that must represent a lot of work.

How do you do to do those effects with all these lines? you pencilled them one by one?

Gorgeous. Feel like I need a thesaurus each month just to describe how beautiful you work is Barry.

And I agree with NC about who we are seeing. I originally thought the mystery hero may have been Sunboy but it definitely looks like Lar stepping out of a Phantom Zone projector.

It's all done by hand...in fact Mick (Gray) did say he was a bit relieved I hadn't asked him to ink it! smile

Now...next to come : bouncing Boy please.

I agree with Scott and Gary , i think its Kara, Rokk, Nura and Brainy.

It'd make sense b/c Kara/Rokk and Nura/Brainy are kinda couples. If not Nura its either Vi (who's Igor to Brainy's Dr. Frankenstein) or Imra (who did a lot of the work to free Mon-El from prison in another time and place)

Definitely a Phantom Zone Projector, or Mr. Kitson has constructed a shiny explosion thingy just to toy with us. I RESENT all the glee he gets from speculating on these cover images! Stupid previews!


...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

Wow! Another great cover. Your covers are the best in the history of the Legion - and that's something with the Farmer/Davis and Swan art of the past!

Thanks again, Mr. Kitson, for the previews and insights!

Sorry Doublechinner...

Hi Faraway Lad - I have to agree the pencil version isn't quite as finished as it usually is - even I couldn't face blacking in all the areas in pencil - laugh

Another great cover,Barry!
Thanks again for giving us a peek at the creative process behind the finished artwork.
The final inks reminds me of my favorite artist - Virgil Finlay.

another amazing cover, BARRY !!

the image is very powerful and striking, and i'm pretty sure that's a PHANTOM ZONE PROJECTOR also, that Mon-El is appearing from .......

I second that Barry and this isn't just idle sucking up...

The artwork(covers and interior)you are producing is without doubt among the best ever produced for the Legion. Right there with Curt Swan's run which IMO rates as the best in the history of the book.

It's been, not just a highlight of this incarnation, but one of the highlights in all of Legion history IMO.

A lot of us are grousing about where the Legion has gone over the past 20 years..and where it's going in the future...

But no one, and I mean no one(not even the critics), is complaining in the slightest about the artwork in this run...and the covers are probably the best of it...these last few and upncoming covers are among my favorite all time covers of any era from any artist. Take a well deserved bow....and by all means keep doing whatever you are doing that is leading to these covers, please.

Wow thanks Superboy - I don't like to repeat myself over and over, but I honestly can't tell you much your compliment means to me! I take the responsibilty of drawing the LSH and following in the footsteps of so many great artists VERY seriously so it really does give me a boost to know that so many of you don't feel I'm letting you down (I am a pretty harsh self-critic). I hope I can keep improving for you and the book for a long time to come! smile

Barry,

You know what a fan I am of the covers smile laugh drool love !

As always THANKS for sharing the images!

And while this group does not constitute the whole Legion collecting community, it is a large enough sampling to form a objective opinion. And I think that Superboy hit it on the head there with . . .

"But no one, and I mean no one(not even the critics), is complaining in the slightest about the artwork in this run...and the covers are probably the best of it...these last few and upncoming covers are among my favorite all time covers of any era from any artist.

Some will complain about the pacing, the storyline, heck even the additon of Supergirl, BUT I will go on the record saying that I have yet to hear 1 complaint about the art!

So please keep those hands safe, keep the little self-critic on your shoulder in check, and keep doing your thing!

Looking forward to seeing some amazing sketches in Baltimore. Must remember to bring digital camera!

LLLater!

Another gorgeous cover, Barry. You're setting a very high bar for the cover artists, you know. smile

What amazes me is we've people on the comics industry who are soley doing cover work that doesn't even come close to what you've done on this series. Yes, I am biased. Yes, you are one of my favorite artists but it's the truth.

Now THAT, is a dang fine composition. I like the white lines on black effect alot. makes me want to read SIN CITY. I love your work on this series. Its my favorite thing you've ever done. Right up there with JLA:YEAR ONE and EMPIRE.

And thanks again for the free signed copy of TEEN TITANS/LEGION special from Wizardworld Dallas '04.

Now Barry, did you have to do alot of research to capture Lester Spiffany so well, or was that cover drawn from memory? Cuz that is obviously Lester standing before his pile of shiny wealth (my guess is that Lester is becoming the new benefactor of the Legion, a la RJ Brande) smile

Really, thanks again guys! You're definitely way too kind, but I appreciate the compliments hugely! smile

Now you know I can't answer that question, Spellbinder, it would be a dead giveaway that the figure is Lest....oops! laugh
