Description
Cover dated January 1989.

Ah, Magnetic Kid. You had a chance with Lightning Lass and gave it up to clean out the trophy room. I remember reading this when I was 13 and thinking he was an idiot.

As a personal rule, I don’t typically keep more than one page of original art from any given issue, but I got this page and the preceding page together, so I decided to keep them. They go very well together.

Do I also have the page that follows this one? Yes, I do.

Nicely drawn page, especially paired with your page 8 from the same issue, that continues the emotional relatinonship scenery with those great classic Legion characters! Enjoy !

I'll say goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should magnetize
Time and time Pol Krinn the chance for love
has passed me by
And DeCarlo of love
is how to live Magnetic
I just can't seem to find Kid.

So I've made my mind up I must live
my life alone
And though Ranzz not an easy page
I guess in trophy room
I'd say goodbye to love.

There are no Barreto's for this art of mine
Surely time will lose these bitter memories

And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
And to Legion something I could live for.

Ayla years of useless search
Have finally reached an ink
Loneliness of empty page will be my
only friend
From this day love is forgotten
DeCarlo as best ink can.

Ah, those missed opportunities ;)

At least you didn't miss the chance to put a great 3-page sequence together!

The one that got away. His magnetism was set to "repel" apparently.

Holy shit, Barreto was really obsessed with drawing her ass. A really great set of images here!

Ha ha! Discipline when buying pages from a childhood comic can so quickly dissipate in the face of temptation.  Fun page with the bashful Magnetic Kid.
