Superboy returns to the Legion/plus Dave Cockrum and Mike Grell on the costume desings

On of the least plausible Legion stories. Hmmm Chains that would crush the earth...

Cool cover. Note this was my first experience with the "bait and switch" cover as a child. I only realized when I got home that only the cover was done by George Perez, the interior was done by some hose'.

	Sure, alot of supertypes run around half naked, but that thing they put Cosmic Boy in....There's just no words for it! It's like they let some bizarre slasher/Yaoist design it! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	The one on the woman actually wouldn't look too bad if she put on a jacket - she'd basically be Black Canary. With, uh, sparkly nipple-pasties. But the guy's costume is just... no. Nonononono. There is no one in the entire world who can pull off disco-ball pants. Even Elvis never got that tacky. Icch. It's like the '70's just threw up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't tell that to German synth-bands. This was from Eurovision this past year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I revel in the fact that German synth-bands are not my thing. (I think - to tell the truth, I haven't the foggiest idea what a synth-band is.) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No, we wouldn't, because as said, it's a BUSTIER, which is already a known woman's garment. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	i'd only start worrying about that if the gloves were elbow-length. (Reply to this) (Parent)
