Everyone here jokes about everything when Lester can be dragged into it *sigh*
I'm looking for the book today. (Trying, again, to support a local shop first if I can.) I'll eat properly seasoned crow if Dean's work is indeed present, but I still don't expect it to be there.

Hmm. I did find it odd that Dean never mentioned he was being published in the edition. I too will be getting mine today-- hopefully-- so we'll see.

Greybird, do you like your crow broiled, grilled, or pan fried? I got my copy of BotLO, and Dean's sketch is indeed on the last page (the Afterward) and it does indeed have the caption "This one's for all the kids at Legion World. Ladies and gentleman... Lester Spiffany!"

1 large crow, plucked Stuffing of your choice Salt and pepper Shortening or lots of butter Flour 2 pie crust mixes 2-3 hard-boiled crow eggs
Stuff the crow. Loosen joints with a knife but do not cut through. Simmer the crow in a stew-pan, with enough water to cover, until nearly tender, then season with salt and pepper. Remove meat from bones and set aside.
Prepare pie crusts as directed. (Do not bake.) Make a medium thick gravy with flour, shortening, and the juices in which the crow has cooked, and let cool.
Line a pie plate with pie crust and line with slices of hard-boiled egg. Place crow meat on top. Layer gravy over the crow. Place second pie dough crust over top.
Bake at 450 degrees for 1/2 hour. Eat while it's hot, and then keep eating until whoever it is forgives you.
... Deeee-lish! ...
Well, yes, it's in there. I'm skeptical of the veracity of anything about ol' Lester around here. Nothing personal, Rhino.
The sketch is indeed on the last text page in my copy, picked up at AmazingComics(.com) in Long Beach this afternoon. Another gorgeous TwoMorrows book, and I'm looking forward to reading it this weekend.
Glen Cadigan was adamant about the art-scan contributors to The Legion Companion (including me) only sending along professionally created Legion art. I was thus also highly skeptical about DC consenting to fan artists' new work being included, such as that of Dean.
I'm glad that DC opened up its requirements, or that Glen persuaded them of the change, or however it happened. The boost being given to fan analysis, art, and fiction in this book had to give the legal types more to worry about, given their usual concerns, especially about trademarks.

Can I have a piece of that Steve? I doubted too and I apologize to Rhino for that as well.
Wahoo!! Dean's been published and is a bonafide Legion celebrity artist now. We're so proud of you, Dean-o! That rocks bubba.

I bought the book but I haven't read much of it yet. I was quite pleased to see not only the Dean Lee pic but also a couple of different Legion World plugs throughout the book. The web address for Cru's LMBP Outpost site is included in the book as well!
There's also a bunch of Scott Johnson's cartoons from Legion Pics and various other groups printed in the book, which I thought was very cool! I've always loved Scott's work, and it was nice to see it again.
