What I'd like to know is if Steve were doing some sort of regular creative work with the Legion, would he work with DnA to populate the new Legion World?
Does he have any ideas for new Legionnaires? Not just reboots of Tellus or Quislet, although I wouldn't mind that happening, but does he have any new worlds, and/or characters, for us to get to know.
Have you presented any ideas to DnA, Steve? I know it's hard to share here, because someone might steal your ideas or something, but I'm still curious as to what you might creat now, in the new millenium. What 'look' should the current Legion have?

The answer would most certainly be yes. My next issue of Legion will not be written by DnA, but having worked from their script on the Umbra issue I can enthusiastically say that I'd enjoy working with them on another. of course, I'm a bit keen on this new Keith Champagn script, at the moment.

It's always been my way to contribute as much as possible, whether I'm working with Paul Levitz, Anne Nocenti, Roy Thomas ... whomever. Even though the Umbra story ("After Dark") was presented to me in "full script" form, I was able to find ways to contribute a few creative elements.
<< Have you presented any ideas to DnA, Steve? >>
Not directly. My contact has been through my editor.

You might just have to wait until Legion #24 to see an example.
<< What 'look' should the current Legion have? >>
Well, Shady, I've always favoured individuality over uniformity. I like costumes that say something about the style and personality of the wearer.
In a way, the Legion of Super-Heroes has always benifitted from having a great many creative people contributing to it. Twenty years ago you might see costumes from several different Legion eras side by side. The looks of each individual were unique as a result ... it added to their individuality.
Things are slowly coming back around to that now, with designs by Moy, Sprouse, Coipel, and even ...

Thanks for taking the time to answer!
I know that you've always added wonderful elements to any story that you've illustrated and I can hardly wait until #24 comes out. I expect there will be a number of gems for us to find.
I like indiviuality, too. But I've also liked the last years where the costumes were individualized within set parameters, like an inner panel, 'nehru' collars and utility belts.
Those really aren't very much of a constraint and it was fun seeing what kind of individuality could be reached within a more unified team setting.
I think, as the Legionnaires become more adult and the team looses more of it's UP 'only' focus, that more individualized costumes will, or should, naturally come about.
Val's on the cover of the Dream story, and Nura's from slightly earlier, are interesting and very dynamic examples, I think.
I can hardly wait to see what you've done with Umbra!

This topic is from the original DCMBs. It was the thread that I wanted to ressurect when I first set up this message board 2 years ago. I finally took the time and effort to bring it here.
Hopefully, this will answer many of the questions that get brought up here from time to time.
