And the brilliant Ditko wasn't either on his few issues. So like you, I was primed for Janes. (I also have his Tyroc page from Secrets of the Legion... and I'm actually pretty impressed with how detailed it is.)<br /><br />Broderick -- I liked some of his stuff, but preferred him on Firestorm.<br /><br />But yeah... the return of Levitz and the coming of Giffen was a TOTAL game changer. The Legion would never be the same.<br />Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11737288450644332728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-51244573514415307072017-08-30T20:48:54.145-04:002017-08-30T20:48:54.145-04:00That's cool!

I liked him at the time (better than Joe Staton, whose style just didn't work on the Legion) but after Broderick and Giffen etc came on board, Janes' star waned pretty quickly in my eyes. ;-) Russell Burbagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756652514507714383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-14601110731900760282017-08-30T20:26:47.101-04:002017-08-30T20:26:47.101-04:00One of the few pieces of Legion original art that ...One of the few pieces of Legion original art that I own is the page where Frake pushes and kills the peasant. (I don't have the same aversion to Jimmy Janes' art that some others have.) Thus, I have a soft spot for this story - I was beginning to embrace the Legion fully during this period.
