Not sure if it’s the fault of the writing or the art, but having it be indistinguishable from sixties Smallville?

...In my opinion, this is the best Jimmy James got. <br />I guess that's faint praise, but I did like his stuff better than Ditko's guest work.

It was sorely missed when it was interrupted by Steve Ditko, Carmine Infantino (both of whom I love on other characters), etc... during fill-ins or digest stories. That being said, my all-time favorites are: Cockrum, Grell, early Giffen and Cinar.<br /><br />RE:: this story line: While it doesn't make much sense to current audiences, to a 12 year old kid back then it was pretty fascinating! My love for the Legion was cemented during this time period (especially for Tinya, Jo, Drake and Brin). I rode miles on my bicycle to another store to find the issues that were missing from the spinner rack at the small-town pharmacy up the street from my house. :DKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14267403631542001938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-10171729796212316632017-03-07T11:28:22.698-05:002017-03-07T11:28:22.698-05:00Jimmy Janes was singlehandedly responsible for how...Jimmy Janes was singlehandedly responsible for how bad this book became and made Keith Giffen look like Dave Cockrum and his clone Mike Grell .<br /><br />Janes was just horrible and had he done the Darkness Saga it wouldn't have been a classic !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
