LoSH Appreciation Week Day 1 - Shore Leave
For my Interlac zine A Tale of Two Proties #81, June 2019, I used the layout of the cover to Superboy #206, but reimagined the backup story "Welcome Home, Daughter -- Now Die" as the lead cover story. At that time I was doing black and white zine covers, hence the lack of color.
In my mind, the actual story not only involves Princess Projectra taking some leave to visit her parents on Orando, but also has that nightmare sensibility like the Star Trek episode Shore Leave. A bit of a stretch perhaps, but I'll take it. A pleasant visit home to a medieval planet of castles and knights interrupted by the threat of death, and the dreaded Morgu. What's not to like?

LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ALEX ROSS GICLEÉ PRINT
Alex Ross created an absolute masterpiece with his wall poster depiction of Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes. It was produced in 1999 as a huge 29” x 54” Giclee print for the Warner Bros Studio Store Gallery, with a run of only 500.

John Byrne drew a series of pictures re-creating what it was like reading the Legion of Super-Heroes in Adventure Comics.
Here are the founding members - Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, and Saturn Girl - along with Triplicate Girl and Superboy.
Next we have Chemical King, Timber Wolf, Light Lass, Ultra Boy, and Phantom Girl.
Here are Matter-Eater Lad, Karate Kid, Princess Projectra, Brainiac 5, and Supergirl.
Chameleon Boy, Sun Boy (careful, bub; she has a boyfriend!), Shrinking Violet, Element Lad, Bouncing Boy, and Invisible Kid.
Rounding out the final group of the Silver Age LSH are Colossal Boy, Star Boy, Dream Girl, Mon-El, and Shadow Lass.
Next we have the Silver Age members of the Legion of Substitute Heroes: Chlorophyll Kid, Stone Boy, Fire Lad (hey, man, that’s Cosmic Boy’s gal!), Night Girl, Polar Boy, and Color Kid.
Finally, we have the folks who were made Honorary Legionnaires: Rond Vidar, Pete Ross, Lana Lang (as Insect Queen), Jimmy Olsen (as Elastic Lad), and Kid Psycho.
I’m kinda bummed that Byrne didn’t include the Legion of Super-Pets, but that can always be a project for another day.
