Description

Another testimony to the fun and power of Facebook. Through it, I connected with Michael Netzer, one of my longtime favorite artists who really made an impression on me with his Legion work from the 1970s. Not much art from that period of the book is available, and Michael happened to work on one of my favorite issues of the era, so I seized the chance to ask for a commission. Michael really threw himself into it, and it turns out he remembers the issue as fondly as I do. It's been a pleasure doing business with him and getting to know him a little, and I treasure this piece. It's a re-creation of SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #231, page 17.

Wonderful..its like stepping into a time bubble to re-read great Legion stories of yesteryear. A real gem of a commission. Congratulations

Thanks, Aidan! Few things are as fun as adding to the Legion side of my collection, a feeling I know you're familiar with!

Thanks, Lloyd. This story has stuck with me forever. it's a classic slugfest with both teams at their best. A prized memory from childhood!

I always thought Jack Abel was not one of Mike's better inkers. Very few penciler / inker combinations are perfect. However this page may been one of Abel's better efforts. It's nice that Mike's recreation has some improvements to the original.

This is easily my favorite (baring my own) of Mike's recent commissions. I almost asked for the FF and the Legion, too.
