this is what Alex Ross say's about about his "Superboy and the Legion of Super Heroes" litho print ....
"This is one of my single favourite paintings. Call it fanboy love. My particular obsession with Shadow Lass influenced other character designs from my childhood.
This wasn't a commissioned piece initially; i just did it because i loved the characters and i was thrilled when Warner Bros. Studio Stores made it into a Giclee print.
How can you not love the Legion ? They're young, they're idyllic, they glem with innocent sexuality. Lots of intertwining. It's the super hero comic as college fashion show"
nice tribute by Mr Ross !!!
Matthew.

Amazon, for some reason, is not shipping mine out for another week. I don't know if they are still waiting for stock to come in or on the other item I ordered at the same time. But I can't wait until it arrives.

Thanks for posting some images, Matt -- it's almost easy to take Ross' art for granted because we all know it's amazing and he produces mew stuff all the time, but seeing these images gives me newfound admiration. Good to see he's such a Legion fan too!
Btw, is that the buzz-cutted Starboy below Wildfire?

Well, I've got two of these. The regular edition that I bought in New York and the Deluxe Edition I had ordered at my comic shop that came in a week and a half ago.
The Deluxe comes with an old fashioned Captian Marvel Airplane and the cover and jacket are switched from the regular edition.
