It was written by the Bierbaums, so apart from the RPG number & stats, there's quite a bit of character revealed through some supplementary material in the profiles (amusing Tiger Beat-type questionnaires from the Legion's early days, etc.). Very hard to find, but I'd say this is essential reading for the 5YL fan.marksweeneyjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13798312028718544923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-63570543288657721152014-09-12T16:44:44.939-04:002014-09-12T16:44:44.939-04:00It's very dense.

Most of that information was published, but you had to dig through the backmatter, as well as the letters pages and the 2 Legion sourcebooks for the Mayfair RPG.LLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282315103797061534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6439298599791449790.post-29389272339034766572014-09-12T12:36:00.497-04:002014-09-12T12:36:00.497-04:00As much as I despise the back half of this era, th...As much as I despise the back half of this era, the year or so where Giffen was there to counterbalance the Bierbaums were great comics.
