Oh, and I'd totally read a Legion story if Joan Hilty wrote it and drew it. I remember her comedic super-heroines from her days on Kitchen Sink's Gay Comics.

With all due respect to the late Mr. Cockrum, I think Jaime's Phantom Girl was the cutest version ever. She really does need to be in an actual story.

YEAH! I can just see it... The Kree-Khund War by Roy Thomas, Paul Levitz, Adams & Palmer. It makes my heart ache just thinking about it.

On a serious note I'd love to see a Legion story drawn by Walt Simonson.
On a not-so-serious note wouldn't it be a great to see the Legion as they would look if the Archie comics artist drew them? Has this been done already? If so, I'd love to see it!

Whilst it would be great to see Walt grace the Legion again you do realise he has already contributed to three issues over the years?
He drew #237 of Superboy and the Legion (even though you would hardly know it was him thanks to Jack Abels inks, he also drew the Fires of Creation story in Legion #100 and was one of the many pencillers in Legion #94.
But yes more Simonson on the Legion would be great just not very likely at present as he is supposedly stil working on his original graphic novel for Wildstorm and has apparently promised to not take on too much extra work until it is finished.

Ah yes .... I had forgotten that post Garth and Imra wedding issue that Simonson penciled. You are correct, Jack Abel's inks did overpower him a bit). I do not remember his works on both Legion #100 or Legion #94. Have to go back and check those two out. Thanks!

I'd love to see the following take a stab at a Legion tale:

I'm not that close in feeling to any of the artists mentioned, although Brian Bolland, Art and Neal Adams, Jim Steranko and Kevin Nolan would certainly have wonderful and interesting versions. I'd especially love Bolland and Nolan to give the Legion a try. And one or both of the Adams do a Shady/NG story.
I'd kind of love to see the Legionnaires drawn by Eric Shanower (sp?). I love his Oz stories.
I put him with Terry Pratchett as writer and put the magical/nexus Legionnaires on Disc world, with Eric as pencilor and Kevin Nolan as inker.
