Description

I bought this directly from Steve Lightle in 1998. I was blown away by the detail and creativity he put into each character's image. Steve told me that he was a big Beatles fan and based this design on the cover of the Let It Be album.

The Dream Girl image was achieved by drawing the face on a separate piece of duo-shade board, ripping it in half, and then attaching it to the board. I'm sure someone else would have added stats by now, but I like the way it looks as is.

One of the absolute best cover artists during the entire 1980's! Always great to see one of his Legions covers, too, as so few have ever made it to market.
