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'.

I was in HS and college in the 70s-80s, and I loved Cosmic Boy's costume. If I had a super hero body, I would want to flash those abs at the world.The big colars were cool too. Sure they must have been death on visibility, but they were noticed. Some of that over-the-top stuff was like those runway fashion shows by Victoria's Secret. No one is wearing those things. They probably aren't even for sale. If you wore those as sleepwear, your boyfriend would have a heart attack.
Think about how stupid a cape is for a hero. You can make excuses for it, but it's not practical--cool though and super hero must-wears

I make paper models of the LSH, but I have to admit that I ended up using a different Cosmic Boy costume, because it was hard to work with.

Excuse the poor photography please. "I'm a writer, Jim, not a photographer!"

	just added 4 more models that could be remotly related to the Legion. Someday, I figure out what I'm doing wrong with that stupid camera and re-take pictures without blurry images. (Reply to this) (Parent)
