Legion of Superheroes 19 p 28 - Patton and DeCarlo

Chuck Patton is easily one of my favorite DC artists. Obviously, his launching of JLDetroit is classic but his Titans, Legion, and Vigilante stories were great too. I was really glad to snag this Legion page with a half splash of my top five couple Danwstar and Wildfire (not to mention the start of the short story Invisible Kid and an about to be injured Mon-El). DeCarlo provided his always complimentary inks.

The page came with a great overlay for panels 1 and the moon in the bottom right corner.

I divide my mainstream DC galleries into pre and post Crisis. This is the first page where I had to really look at release dates to determine where it fell. It came out a month before Crisis 12 but the two Legion issues before it were Crisis tie-ins. To me, that means its a post-crisis issue (particularly due to the delay for Crisis 12).

Bought this page during a ComicConnect auction in fall 23.
