A great Cockrum Legion page!
I love how Starfinger built the ship in his own image! The arms and knees also have the 1950's robot look, which is cheesy but classic. Artistically speaking, the 3rd panel is an absolute standout. Creating the figure with nothing but diagonal, parallel lines and no outline creates the special effect that sells it to the reader. Great stuff!
Here, as I watch the ship outside
The Cockrum we adore
I keep asking myself why
And if there's more art the other side
Here, as the Legion friends I thought I'd made
A little bit crazed, knowing how
We've outgrown just ten fingers
Starfinger
Dream baker
Soul splitter
We're happy now
Wow -- another great Cockrum Legion page from #200! Amazing!!! Based on the date stamp, I'm guessing Dave had to wait until 1978 until he got this back from DC (most likely thanks to Neal Adams).
