Wow!! My favorite era of the Legion. Great seeing an original cover from that period. I still regret not buying the cover for issue #11 when someone was selling it on Usenet back in the 1990s.
Love this!! Great cover. Great Giffen!
THis is just an AMAZING piece. Congratulations & HAPPY NEW YEAR
In 1986, I finally began to earn enough money to add as many titles to my pull list as I wanted, so, since I was a big Marvel guy growing up, I used the opportunity to finally start adding more DC titles whose characters I'd always found eye appealing but couldn't afford to buy, like the Legion. So that meant my first exposure to reading Legion was with this new series. I can't remember almost anything about it, but when this cover came up at auction, it sparked a memory and I went back and read this story again. As I read it, the story details started coming back to me. I enjoyed it, but clearly this was very unlike any Legion comic that had come before and I clearly could recognize that Giffen and the Bierbaum's simply wanted to try a completely different approach with the team. It wasn't what I would've preferred to be my introduction to reading Legion comics if I'd had a choice, but I still remember enjoying it and it was fun just for being something completely different from all the Marvel stuff I was already reading anyway. Nice to see this one ended up with you, Miki!
I thought FYL was amazing. I thought that Keith's solution to the No Superboy mandate was clever. The first ten issues or so were excellent. This cover is an outstanding example from that run. Congratulations!
I liked the bright, shiny Legion and didn't care for this storyline very much. Guess I'm more of an optimist but the cover is wonderful.
This is my Hands Down Favorite Era for LoSH. Everything came together with Tom and Mary and Keith and Al.
Garth Green Jealous Here🥰🥰🥰
By no means an action cover, but it startles with the blistering power of raw draining emotions. Rich and atmospheric, it creates an intense scene that unforgettably haunts your psyche with a lasting effect.
Count me as a fan of this run. Great cover!!
I must confess I've yet to read that era of the LSH but DC conveniently is releasing it in omnibuses.
That being said, the art was great (with early Pearson!) and the writing by T&MB vaunted.
I will always prefer Lightle's era but the Giffen art from that era was something else (despite/because of the obvious influences).
An exceptional addition to your collection, Miki. Each of these covers feels like a treasure.
Thanks for sharing.
OUTSTANDING!❤this!
I am not a LSH fan. Prior to the 5YL series I had never read a legion book and I have not read one since. However. I loved this series. It got me, hook line and sinker. The stories, the art, it was the first time I really noticed Keith Giffen and it made me a fan. Great cover. Love Giffens art from this period. Lots of good memories. Congrats.
This was an amazing era for DC and the Legion and having this piece of it is certainly a feather in the cap.

Sweet cover Miki!!
