Almost done with my second Legion issue of the 21st Century ... Does anyone have any suggestions what comic work I should set my sites on next?
I'd hate to concentrate 100% on advertising clients and turn away from comics completely. I'd like to keep a foot firmly planted in each of these two worlds. But ... what to do next ... hmmm ...

Steve, I don't know the legal ins and outs, but it would be amazing if you could complete that Red Sonja series.
Other things I would love to see from the hand of Lightle are futuristic series/one-shots/GNs either for DC (taking place in the years between our time and the Legion) or a future-based book done for an independent publisher - no continuity concerns, all new characters. A simple request!!
Of course, more Legion work would be welcomed as well.

Or....you could start doing a continuing series called Tales of the LMBP here on Legion World. We already have some adventures written (like the current work in progress titled "Super Jailhouse of Space") and I'm sure that knowing you would provide the artwork, we could get many other's to contribute storylines!
Imagine how much fun you could have drawing Lash Lad, EDE, Faraway Lad, Fat Cramer,Non Sequetor Lass, Penis-Eradicator Lad, Lard Lad, Senor Widebottom, The One Called The One, Omega Man, Rody The Super Rat, Turns You Into A Country Kid and Clothes Fall Off Fred and soooo many other unique characters including yours truely, Varalent!

I wanna see Steve's version of "He Who Was Once Known As Boy Beautiful!"

Mr. Lightle:
Whatever you do, don't forsake comics. Your work is great, and comic fans deserve more of your fine hand, regardless of what project you work on.

Steve, I always thought your style would work well with kinda sci-fi retro characters like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Adam Strange. That kind of thing...

Those sci-fi retro characters mentioned by deanlegion bring to mind Dragon Lady from Terry & the Pirats - Steve could do a wicked job on her!
Still, we're thinking in the box with just superheroes here. Would you be interested in tackling some noir detective fiction or a spy series, Steve? Real life stories? What type of advertising illustration have you worked on?
(Also, I note that Varalent neglected to confirm if he himself would be paying for LMBP illustrations. I am not chipping in for a sketch of Penis-Eradicator Lad!)

Now that you mention it, FC, perhaps we'll write him out of the stories! I'm not sure that any of us would pay for HIM! I sure wouldn't!

Steve you could draw a nice picture of our new Leader, Princess Crujectra. That'd be nice!
Or my story, Legion 35C, if you really want. I have sketches of what the characters should kind of look like.
Or anything really, I'd still buy it.

"a future-based book done for an independent publisher - no continuity concerns, all new characters. A simple request!!"
I was actually thinking along these lines before returning to the Legion title. In fact, there's a preview of sorts in the upcoming Legion Companion.
Originally I'd intended to self publish the series as one of my Lunatick Press titles, but the changing economy, among other factors, derailed that particular train. If I could find the right independent publisher, I'd be getting the train chugging again right away. In fact, I've got pages drawn and waiting.

Thanks for all the serious, or semi-serious, suggestions that I take up fanfic. As much fun as all that sounds, I'm thinking along different lines here.
It truly is such a pleasure to have you around and participating on these boards.
I for one would love to see you return for a long term engagement on the Legion series. I've always enjoyed your artwork and consider you one of the few that have a real feel for what our favorite characters are like. You make them come to life (perhaps because you love them as much as we do!)
Thanks again!
