DescriptionPublished 1986Most likely written by Paul Levitz. The main image is inked on vellum and the backgrounds inked on the board. The Curt Swan pencils of the main image can be faintly seen on the original art but does not show up on the scan. Real Name: Imra Ardeen (Ranzz) Super Power(s): Mental Telepathy Planet of Origin: Titan, a moon of Saturn Legion Seniority: Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, and Lightning Lad were the three founders of the Legion. She first appeared in Adventure #247 (1958). She married Garth Ranzz (Lighting Lad) in All-New Collectors' Edition #C-55 (1978) and they had a son Graym in Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #3 (1984). Saturn Girl was an important figure in the Legion. She was always portrayed as a strong female figure. She was elected twice as Legion leader, the first time in Adventure 304 (1963). At the time when Marvel had no strong female super-heroes, DC was leading the way with Wonder Woman and Saturn Girl. Paula Cole provides the eponymous song for this piece. Lost in another world, oh Saturn, Saturn Girl. Far away, ot an infinite world I escape I'm clear and calm, I'm unafraid. Sunless days, in my sheltered Milky Way In Saturn's rings I feel no pain. In my heart, in my head Oh, Saturn Girl has always bled No you're not, from this world Saturn Girl Social/Sharing |

It was new year's night
Doin' my thing with an app page like
Had some sure inkin' Curt just right
Everybody was lightnin', the club was Legion
Suddenly you walked in
That's when everybody stopped dancing
Lads I couldn't stop myself staring
Yeah I couldn't leave, no, I couldn't believe my line
I never thought I'd fall in love in a club
But now Ms. Saturn Girl I can't get enough
With you I know there's no Lightning Lad show
So can somebody please let Kesel
Tell me who's that girl
Just walk, walk, drawn in vellum
Tell me who's that girl
Just walk, walk, drawn in vellum
Tell me who's that girl
Just walk, walk, walked in the club
Just walk, walk, walked in the club
Just walk, walk, walked, just walk, walk, walked

I find Kesel modernized the main figure a bit too much, but all the background art on the second board looks like a perfect combination of modern, 1980's sensibilities, along with the classic, Silver Age style Swan had. Kesel is one of the absolute best inkers of the past 40 years, yet most fans don't even realize it.
