I've already got it in my reserve pile and will be picking it up for Christmas! Pics of hot women in Tinya outfits mean will make it feel like I'm celebrating Chanukah and Quanza too now!

it's really a good book, and a fantastic companion to the first Legion book they published:!

Gary, that picture is on page 83, or at least one very like it.
As for the book I have to admit i didnt order it. But the guys at the CBS put one aside for me anyway and on the first flick through I have to say I'm pleased they did. It looks as if this is going to be a fascinting read.
Or and Cobie, its has one of the hottest Grell Tinya's I seen in a month of Sundays

Thanks! I wonder why Twomorrows is taking so long to mail it out. Any other mailers waiting? And it turns out my shop didn't order one for me.

It's quite interesting. Some of the fan articles are really well written and interesting. I think it's a testament to how crap the 5 Year Gap was though that I only "got" the Mon-El/Eltro Gand thing when I read this book. It also shows the Bierbaums wrote for the long term fans rather than newbies - maybe explaining why I found their run such hard going.
Some of it was interesting, other bits were bizarre. I kind of found it weird that they printed so much about that four eyed fat bird in the Phantom Girl costume.

There's lots of Mercy Van Vlack in the book because she was the femme going to the events and gatherings the most, I suppose. I would have liked to have seen pictures of femme-fans supreme Carol Strickland and Margie Spears too.

Andrew, that's a pretty mean-spirited and disrespectful thing to say about someone else involved in Legion fandom. I know that you enjoy spending the majority of your time here trying to come across as crude and obnoxious, but do you think it would be at all possible to hold back on comments as personnally insulting as this?
In addition to enjoying the Legion, we do like to enjoy each other too, you know?

Crude and obnoxious? How f***ing dare you!!
Seriously though, I said one little thing about the reboot probably being a crap idea and everyone here decides they hate me! *Sob* I *choke* thought you guys were my friends *sniff*
As for Giganta - I'm only saying what everyone else is thinking!

CK, please don't persist in calling somebody names. Weren't you concerned a while back about some unintended-for-publication comment you made that got into the newspaper and hurt somebody's feelings? If you wonder who the woman in the Tinya outfit is and why she merits a place in the Outpost book, just ask - don't throw in some exaggerated crack about how you think she looks. Certainly not "everybody is thinking" the way you are.

Comet King, since I consider Mercy as a part of our extended family of Legion fandom and I have asked that you refrain from these personal insults in the past, please consider this a very public announcement of your being banned as CK and as your other ID here.
Sorry you did not feel the need to be a part of our community enough to be civil.

I read the book in 2 days flat. That really says something to me! Lots of great art (pro & fan), lots of great interviews (including that raving egomaniac Mort Weisinger, and a previously-unpublished one from 25 years ago with Keith Giffen). Loads of "speculative" articles dealing with explaining various Legion mysteries (several of which wound up in the actual comics later on-- and not always for the better). It's a terrific package.
For anyone unfamiliar, the LEGION OUTPOST gang, from what I gather, evolved into INTERLAC, a Legion Amatreur Press Alliance. APAs are "fan-clubs-by-mail". Every 2 months you send in a "zine" with art, stories, articles, comments. A "Central Mailer" collates all the packages and each member gets back a "Mailing" containing a copy of EACH member's zines. What a wild, crazy way to communicate, share your love for things, and even make friends.
I should know-- I've been in the OTHER Legion APA since 1991-- KLORDNY. There's only a few mentions of it in the book (understandable), but I got a kick out of the fact that the ONE Klordny member who was mentioned by name (and had his comments included) was Kevin Hawkins, who joined the same time as I did, and who I spend every other weekend on the phone with in marathon B.S. sessions. Far out!
