Gollikers! Had we known they were going to include new material Eryk and I could have submitted a MEL:TS script! One that heavily features Lester Spiffany!

I was THRILLED to see Dean's art included! How cool is this?
There're bunches of articles I haven't read yet, but I noticed Keith Giffen's interview... particularly his comments on Element Lad. Sheesh! I don't agree with his take on Jan at *all*. What's more, I don't really see it represented in his use of E-Lad... except maybe in the pretense of the 'guardian of Trom' that Jan used to keep folks away from his abandoned planet.
I'm looking forward to reading the article containing Legionnaire's astrological profiles, in addition to many others.
Good work, original Legion Outposters and the producers of this volume.

I have been waiting FOREVER for this thing to be made public!!!! Glen contacted me a LONG time ago, asking if I'd like to have that sketch of Lester printed. I think my answer was something like HELL YEAH I WOULD!!!! I asked him in what context will the sketch be used. I asked him if I could post this news to my online buddies. He gave a clever response, something like, "Don't you want it to be a surprise?" Well...yeah.
Here's something "fun"...I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THE BOOK! I think I requested it at my comic shop, but I don't remember... (DUH, huh?) I'm goin' Monday!!!
Thank you for all the nice comments here! I can't wait to see the book and be able to comment on everything with everyone. I was and am thrilled to be included!!!!!

I neglected, after all the gyrating about whether it was a joke, to congratulate you, Dean. It was a wizard notion (even better than a Wizard notion) to have this text-heavy book include Scott Johnson's "staff artist" additions and Dean's coda.

Hmmm... I guess I should start thinking about further updates
Congrats on your inclusion, Dean!

Thanks, Cru and Grey! I have lots more to say about the book. I picked it up today. I've only barely begun reading the articles, but I got a major kick out of the artwork throughout! Made me remember how much I miss Scott Johnson. I gotta email that man!

I can't even find the damn book out here! It seems as though I'm the only Legion addict in this lousy desert we call California.

Scott Johnson ROCKS! I've loved his art ever since he started posting them on the LegionPics group back in the day, and he always seemed like such a nice guy. Glen's use of his work in the book was inspired. The drawings fit right in, as if they had been drawn specifically for the book rather than collected from a couple years worth of work.
Does anyone know if Scott has an online gallery of his Legion work anymore? Dave King used to have one on his site (as well as a gallery of his own stuff, which was also great!) but I can't seem to find that one anymore.
