Since Amethyst appeared in the Legion, I thought it was good to post this here.

Other than the series (1-12, 1-16 and 1-4) itself, I'm looking for appearances, posters, promos and ads for Amethyst of Gemworld... Please help!

Scans would REALLY help me out.

won't be much help I'm afriad, but I can that Amethyst was there in Infinite Crisis #2 in the background in one panel.

When the twelve of us from this board were in Boston in Sept., someone asked Dan Didio if we'd see anything with her anytime soon, and his response made it seem unlikely.

I know she was in Book of Fate & the Convergence storyline as a bad girl last time I saw. Got those covered.

there was also Amethyst Annual 1 (between the 12 and 16 runs) and Special 1 (around Crisis on Infinite Earths 1).She had at least one appearance in Crisis OIE, Also, LSH...298, I think, had the original preview. She had a cameo or two in the original (Gaiman) Books of Magic mini, too.

I know there was an ad, but I can't remember where I saw it. Could it've been in LSH?

...and there was a two-page feature in at least one of the DC Samplers, just as most DC books of that era had.

I've managed to download the Sampler 2, I need to find #1 & #3 yet [Frown] Also looking for a full front/back cover scan of DC Spotlight, she's on there too. The picture and ad inside are from the comic. I heard there was an ad in Green Arrow, but I can't find it. I have the Amazing Heroes #20 cover scanned. She's on there... She was on the cover of two Crisis issues and inside 3 of them. (so 4 issues in all, cause #11 had a story with her). Let's see... I've got the Who's Who appearances and the Update 87, then the spiral version.. I had to download the entire Who's Who for that... Got the Book of Fate, Scare Tactics, Challeners of the Unknown and Night Force. Also found her in a poster kneeling next to Robin. That was cute. Still looking for missing scans, posters and ads.. and Fan Art! I should make a mini smiley of her.

Altho Amethyst herself did not make a physical appearance during the "Dead Legionnaires" stories in 5YL-era LEGION 43-48, her presence was definitely felt by Mysa who was transformed into a white-skinned, dark haired juggernaut...

I finally read issue #0 of Sword of Sorcery and really dug it! It was pretty much everything I hoped it would be with a lead story that hooked me and featuring some stunning artwork by Aaron Lopresti. The Beowulf backup was also pretty impressive with the classic story having some apparent modern/futuristic elements to add to the mystery. Also, great to see atist Jesus Saiz finding a home and proper showcase for his talents.

Looks like putting this on my pull list before I read the first issue was a good move!

*chuckles* Wow, old topic, forgot I had this one, hehe..

I've read upto 2 and it's not too bad, add in Justice League Dark. It's not the Amethyst we know and love, that's for sure, but she's still good (if you don't think of her as the old Amy). I'll keep reading.

I keep trying to read the Beowulf, but it's too... i donno, not me.

PS: I'm in the middle of updating my page, looking for the DC Nation Amethyst, the old one and Sword of Sorcery stuff now.

I haven't read any of the old Amethyst, but I have liked what I've read of her in Sword of Sorcery and JLD. [Smile]
