My self imposed rule is that I choose only non-Legion covers in this "Infinite Timelines" event, to highlight the fact that the Legion of Superheroes can dovetail into so many different genres, eg: War, Mystery, Romance, Horror, Western etc etc. But as I love the Legion, so I of course love classic Legion covers. The original Nick Cardy cover ( image below ) which was used in a short series of reprint tales was a favorite of mine. It is beautifully constructed but rules are rules, so I couldn't use it.

I could on the other hand use this Superman Issue 313 cover, which just happens to be a homage to the afore-mentioned cover. The swinging figure is wild and Rick Burchett gave it a unique twist that makes it pop !

Another little note, I thank Russ all the time for
his work but often it is the little things that make the difference. Power Boy as a minor Legion character ,does not have his own logo but Russ designed one that is keeping with the original artist costume design.

And now back to the battle. Laurel Kent fell first and Kent Shakespeare is going down for the count, can Power Boy survive ? And wherever goes Power Boy, we know that Gravity Kid is not going to be too far away

Enjoy

I appreciate the lengths you go to stick within the parameters of your theme.

I realize it is kind of silly ( it's not as if Infinite Timelines will collapse on itself if I stray ) but it does keep it interesting for me. Next week is a Marvel Team Up cover but in 2 weeks it is a Marvel Two In One Cover, so y'all come back now ya hear !

Beautiful! Stargrave reminds me of Manning's Robot Fighter stuff here. Wonderful :)

Rick will be back doing his magic again later on, as Shrinking Violet puts Stargrave in her sights before all this is over. She is taking the death of her other Earth Counterpart very badly indeed and REVENGE is on her mind.

Great effort by Rick, I think he is a very underappreciated artist.

Fun stuff. In the for what it's worth column, the Cardy cover was a rework of Adventure #328 by Curt Swan and George Klein.

Thanks for reminding me of that. I went and added that Adventure Cover to the gallery as well.

I wasn't reading Legion during Kent's time period , but these covers make him stand out.
