Very much agreed on Cockrum! I have seen some of his art from his Legion days and I'd argue it's even superior to his X-Men one and it's probably his best work ever.

I especially love issues 197 (Timber Wolf brainwashed,) 198 (the Fatal Five Who Twisted Time,) and 201 (the return of Wildfire.)
Still "Fickles" to my friends.

In the meantime I have progressed through the end of Levitz/Giffen's run and still loving it. I'm looking forward to starting v3 this week. There's the run on Tales of the LSH, which covers, I think, issues 314-325. Those are concurrent to v3 1-12 and are separate stories but somewhat interconnected. I think v3 is very good overall. When Giffen returns around 50, I'm hot and cold on it. Also, Levitz was already running out of gas before that. Still some good stuff there. v4, which starts off with "5 Years Later" era, is among my favorite Legion runs! But lots of people have varying mileage. I'm also curious about the original Shooter run, I might check that out at some stage via the Archives. I LOVE Shooter's original runs! It's among the best Silver Age comic book runs, IMO. (I think LSH overall is among DC's best Silver Age comics, but I'm biased!  )
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

Shooter's stories hold up remarkably well. He created some of the most outstanding and long-lasting villains. The hardcover archives are difficult to find at a reasonable price, but you might check out the Omnibus editions.
Legion of Three Worlds might be worth checking out for some exposure to the three major versions of the Legion (pre-Bendis).
The Legion by Abnett & Lanning took the reboot into a more sci-fi realm. It was great at the start but, like so many series, ran out of steam part way through. The first 24 issues are among my favourite Legion runs.
There's also the two issue Superboy's Legion (2001) by Mark Farmer and Alan Davis, which is a delightful harkening back to the best of the Silver Age. Don't know how easy that is to find now.
No shortage of material, everyone has their preferences. Enjoy!
Holy Cats of Egypt!
