Welcome to Legion World. Sweden, eh? Maybe you'd like to come to the Anywhere Machine, we've been having a discussion about International School Reading lists that is turning out to be quite interesting. I'd be really interested in how things are in Sweden. It's in the Anywhere Machine, topic: International School Reading (or something of that sort)

I guess this is the right place for introductions, so:
Who: Antão, Positive Man Where: Lisbon, Portugal Why: Love of Legion (and lots of lurking here) When: 1973, first comic ever read, at age 5 (a brazilian reprint featuring Invisible Kid and Phantom Girl in some Espionage Squad action from the Adventure era) What: I translate books ("serious" ones) and breed dogs for a living, I surf and ride horses for sport, I will not ever drop the Legion (I liked the 5 year gap even if it spawned several horrors: I didn't like the reboot at all -with the exception of the DnA issues- nor Waid's recent stuff).

Thanks everyone. About that School reading list, Doctor one, well, it's not easy for me to remember overly much about what books we got to pick and read from the lists as it was many years ago since i went to High school.

Snakeguru Lass, please allow me to thank you on behalf of your country for IKEA. I couldn't have furnished my home without it!
Both of you, please make yourselves at home.

Sorry about the time that has passed between your question and my answer, Dain, but my workload has been relentless. To my knowledge the Legion has been (very badly printed and translated) published in brazilian editions until the end of the 5 year gap. It was never published in european Portuguese. And a quaint factoid for you: my first issue was read in Africa (Dad was a military man), in Mozambique, to be precise. I started collecting it in English with the Bouncing Boy-Duo Damsel marriage issue (thanks for paying for it while I couldn´t, Mom and Dad ).

And I forgot to include my thanks to all the kind folks that added their personal welcomes to grumpy old me.

Again: my apologies for the delayed answer, Semi. Work has been a dog's girlfriend. I breed three local dog races (two recognized by the FCI and one about to), that are mainly shepherds (all of them were used as wolf fighting mastiffs) and guard dogs even if they can also used for search and rescue or leading the blind (I hate "political correctness"). Here's some links with photos (Am I even allowed to do this? Let me assure the board administration upfront that these sites aren't mine, neither belong to anybody I know or do business with) for you to know the roll call of my "Interplanetary Bunk Beast Guard" : http://www.rt-serradaestrela.pt/regiao/caodaserra.htm http://www.rafeiroalentejo.info/index.cfm?l=1 http://www.caodegadotransmontano.org.pt/
The latter is about to be recognized by the FCI. Believe me, none of these are to be trifled with...
