Okay, one more for the Jan fans in the house. I started this one a long time ago (before my old computer blew up) and only recently finished it.
Here's Element Lad in his Cockrum designed 70's costume, drawn by Colleen Doran...

Gorgeous idea, sketch, and color. Yet that outfit (always the best color scheme for Jan, I felt) raises the same question in my mind every time I see it:
How did that green upward arrow ever get past the prudes at the Comics Code Authority?
One of the true mysteries of the comics universe

Could have been worse. Imagine it was a big green arrow pointing downwards! I bet that one wouldn't have slipped by the CCA!
BTW, little known fact (or maybe not so little known?) that costume was originally designed as a costume for Colossal Boy, hence the upwards arrow, indicating growth. For some reason they (I don't recall if it was Cockrum, the editors or DC itself) scrapped the idea and then brought it back later for Element Lad after Gim's Cockrum era costume (which was a rejected Ultra Boy design) was introduced.
I can't remember where I read all of that.

This was worse

The pics on the first page (from Loser to Looks That Kill Lad) were drawn by LMBPer Freekinos, with colors by Loser.

Gawd, I only wish I could draw like that! No, as Crujectra said those were drawn by Tony "Freekinos" Scott, who I fully expect to see drawing comics for a living sooner or later.
As for my own talents, I'm afraid my drawing is more similar to Cobalt Kid's than it is to Tony's.

Well, it's not like the arrow's pointing down

I found this Moy sketch awhile back and I just had to color it in honor of High Priestess Viviane's birthday, which is tomorrow (October 4th). Hope you like it Terry!
