Like when the Sun Eater came, or when Darkseid attacked, she was there cheering the Legion on! I bet she'd be a great friend and/or family member. Hey, maybe she knows Flyntt Broj? They'd be a good pair!
Yes, yes, yes! I suddenly am filled with wonderul images of TALass and Flynt living happily ever after! Or better, cheering them on at the end of Zero Hour and as Flynt gets a little sad, T.A. Lass looks at the readers and says, "we'll just have to try again!".
Teeds, that's one of my all-time favorite covers too. The Subs are some of my favorites (especially the original five + Color Kid), and this cover draws me in everytime.
Fortes really drew some glamorous girls Dean! I never realized it until this thread.

I think the Vorn Woman is one of the most interesting. She's attractive, which is more or less a given, but her simple-chic clothing and lack of jewelry sets her apart.

quote:Originally posted by Sketch Lad: Autograph Girl... debuted in Adventure Comics #301, "The Secret Origin of Bouncing Boy." I might have made a mistake by only scanning...one...autograph hound. [T]here were several in the crowd. [G]oing by the Archive...there are actually 3 different redheads shown on that page. The one I posted and another one are wearing the same shade of violet, but are clearly two different girls. I wonder if someone with the actual original issue could let us know if the coloring was different... It matters!
EDE thought the girl above looks like Hilary Swank. It might be my scan, because looking in the book, I don't see that similarity as much.
And does it matter indeed!
My original copy of AdCo 301 shows two autograph hounds in violet, but with obviously different garb.
Hilari (Autograph Girl) Swan-K has auburn hair and is dressed in a paler shade of violet (more of a mauve, actually) with no collar. So yes, I also see the similarity to which EDE alludes.
Other Autograph Girl, dressed in plum with white stripes across her collar, is a carrot top (like Lana Lang) and speaks from the far left of the first panel on page two.
If we include auburn and strawberry blond in the broader definition of "red hair", then she is one of FOUR redheads shown on that page, the other two being Dirk and Garth. The Archive Edition, apparently, HAS been recolored. In Sketch Lad's scan, Dressed-in-Blue Boy (between Autograph Girl and Lightning Lad) is shown fully colored with pink face, whereas in the original, he is knocked out in monochrome like the rest of the background characters (albeit a different monochrome), only Hilari and Garth in the foreground being fully colored.
Adventure 301 is a fun issue, beginning with a beautiful Curt Swan and George Klein cover and 13 page Superboy story with Krypto cameo ("Lex Luthor and Clark Kent, Cell-Mates", reprinted in Superman Family #166).
ALSO, for the record, AdCo 301 contains the first published occurrence of the phrase "Bits of Legionnaire Business", in a letter from Allen Pilcher of Memphis, Tennessee.
