DescriptionWhen I was little, I discovered the Legion by reading through my father's extensive collection of Bronze Age comics, and so it wasn't until I was older that it ever crossed my mind to visit the local comic shop and buy some issues for myself. The first comic books I ever bought were from this "Retroboot" run of the Legion, all penciled by Yildiray Cinar, and issue #4 was indeed among them. I fell in love with Cinar's art and his depiction of the Legionnaires I remembered so well from childhood.This is the closest I've ever come to scoring a true "grail" for my collection. When I got the Want List notification for the CAF Classified listing, I could hardly believe my eyes. I don't think I've ever sent an email so quickly in my life! It's such a gorgeous splash page, and such a fantastic display of Cinar's skill with the pencil. And what's even better is that it has a fair number of my favourite Legionnaires on it (especially Brainiac Five, who I've always felt Cinar was particularly adept at drawing)! Finally, an enormous thank-you goes out to fellow CAF member and Cinar-appreciator Larry Wilson for putting this page up for sale, and for being so delightful to chat with! Thanks to him, I can look at this little piece of my comic-reading history and see all the original thought and detail that wound up transformed by later inks and digital colours. Social/Sharing |

Beautiful splash that embodies your genuine love and appreciation of the Legion passed down from your father. Just like family gatherings, these Legion meetings can pretty tense!
