Another lovely Tasmia drawing from an artist that we're not used to drawing the Legion! Mandrake did a wonderful job with this story!

Great Shadow Lass !!  For some reason, art from this iteration of Secret Origins rarely turns up.

I agree it is fantastic and I share your frustration. I have searched for years in vain. I loved Mandrake's run on the Martian Manhunter , the inks were amazing. This is a rare example of him tacking a Legion character but her powerset were perfect for his artistic chops. Nice pick up.

LOl !!! well that explains a lot. I am jealous but very glad it is intact. There is a Legion cameo in the Martian Manhunter that I will keep looking for. Well done Miki

With the fantasy Origin
Lies and Secrets on the ground
And there is no splash illusion
That can frame your art around
Nothing can change the way I feel
Nothing Mandrake your love from me
If only I didn't worry
If only I could see
If only I could see

Casting Shadow framed on wall
Chasing Shadow Lass she danced the floor
Chasing dreams that were forever young
Now I'm on Legion
Chasing Shadow on my wall
Shadow on my wall

Robert Greenberger had the right idea when he decided that Tom Mandrake would be a great fit for this story, as his shadow heavy, organic inking style is perfectly suited for a character whose powers are shadow based.

Love Tom Mandrake's art. He did great superhero work, especially paired with with the right subject, like this one. A beautiful splash page. Shows what a great artist Mandrake is.
