Now rescued from obscurity, at least for a time. Thanks for the reminder, Sketchy!

I had to look up Zorla and Janice, but remembered those stories. Trying to replace the Legion with an androids-for-hire service, Ayla playing the billionaire... interesting money theme - as was the Janice Warren story, a peek into 30th century high society. That was a time when Jeckie was definitely playing the part of the wealthy princess.

Yeah, I had my trusty copy of Achive Edition #9 handy when I started this thread. Swanky dolls drawn by Win Mortimer, with groovy names!

Quicksand isn't from that archive edition, she's from later on in the Grell era. But she is very beautiful and pretty obscure within Legion publishing history.

oh it's kind of sad that i recognize all of those names. i must have been a lonely child. quicksand was a babe and a cool deadly one as well. i always wanted more of her and her subsequent appearances disappointed. she needs to get rid of holdur and join the LSV.

I remember those guys too. That Archive was one good read, and made me want to read more Adventure Era stories.

I quite liked Quicksand's post-boot appearance in Showcase against Leviathan, Gates and XS.

An interesting little combination of members too I thought. I like it when the writers use characters that we don't normally see interact with one another.

And yes, Quicksand does have a certain allure. One of many characters in Legion-dom that make you like them because you know so little about them.

Like Charma, pre-boot. Just a hottie who had the power to make men do her bidding. Only seen, what two times? And yet she warrented being added to the rebooted continuity.

The postboot Holdur was pretty kewl-looking.


Ah, Janice Warren. Drawn by the irresistably groovy Win Mortimer. Good stuff.

Yes Lash, we share a unique admiration for Mortimer. I named a space speedster after him in one of my fanfics!
