Chameleon Girl Primer part 1: Is it you, baby, or just a brilliant disguise?

Sun, 22 Apr 2012 10:55:32 GMT

Hello s_d! As promised back in my last Legion Lost post, here is a Chameleon Girl retrospective. Because this is gonna be too huge, I'm breaking it into two parts: pre- and post-Conspiracy. Second part will go up tomorrow if my computer cooperates. Images from Legion of Super-Heroes 288-305 in this part.

In this part we ask the eternal question, When is a Shrinking Violet not a Shrinking Violet? Is it when she suddenly starts entertaining advances from the guy who's had a crush on her forever? Or is it when she gets called out on same by her boyfriend of record?

Or is the answer...something far more sinister? dun dun DUNNNNN

( pace Vic Sage, 'Obvious, in hindsight' )

So ends part 1 of our tale. I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say this plot was the most interesting thing to happen to Shrinking Violet and/or Colossal Boy in years. Plus, it falls during my personal pick for Keith Giffen/Larry Mahlstedt art at the top of its game.

Next up, pretty much all of Yera's post-conspiracy appearances.

Hello scans_daily!

Another round of fanart pieces I wanted to share. Again, apologies if there are any repeats.

John Byrne request & a page from Superman #008 (1987)

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 06:34:37 GMT

Posted by: perletwo

Help me s_d, you're my only hope! I'm looking for pose reference for a fanart I want to draw. I have a vague memory of a panel of a character curled up in a ball, tangled in a net or web; I feel sure it's by John Byrne, and I suspect the character may be Spider-Man - from an old Marvel Team-Up perhaps? I'm remembering it with feet facing the viewer, kind of arse-over-teakettle, in the net or whatever. But any similar image would be a huge help if you've got something like that.

For your time, here is some Byrne-drawn Legion of Super-Heroes.

2 1/2 pages from Brave & Bold #34, which teams up the Legion of Super-Heroes circa the old Adventure Comics days with the original Doom Patrol, for part 1 of a 2-part story. I just wanna know how much icon_uk had to pay the creative team here to get such a fanservice-y opening to our tale...

jelly_ace asked for a reprise of Package Week. I had been thinking about that ever since we saw those peen-tastic Cry For Justice pages the other week, and offered to repost my original Package Week entry, since I've still got it all in my photobucket - and it turns out, the text in my inbox full of old replies. :D

( Direct from November 2008, my Package Week entry! )

Browsing through an old image folder, I found a couple of interesting Legion of Superheroes titbits

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:43:50 GMT

Posted by: icon_uk

Whilst digging through a folder of images which I haven't looked at in years, I was delighted to find these which I located years ago, but haven't been able to find since.

Back in 2001 Steve Lightle did some sketches for a proposed animated version of the Legion of Superheroes which never got off the ground (It would be another 5 years before a Legion cartoon series actually hit the airwaves, and would be quite different from this)

Bear in mind these are sketches, not finished designs. You can see the aim was to significantly reduce the average age of the Legionnaires, whilst the bad guys tended to look the way they always had.

( "Aren't we a little young to be facing this much peril?" )

( "EMERALD EYE!!! I Choose you!!" )

After the recent example of Legiondickery here, I though we should see a slightly better example of a Legion Recruitment drive....
