I would like DC (Direct?) to release Alex Ross' masterpiece as a wall poster or an affordable print for the Legion's 50th Anniversary next year.

DC wins by making all the money and the fans win by finally owning that long-sought after painting.

At the same time, they should also release the Price Guide cover and re-release this Poster.

I have the later, but it's gone through a lot.

I could definitely go for the Giffen print. That one is my rosebud.

I've forgotten the Ross print.

I don't recall exactly what the Ross print looks like, but I do recall it being nice.

Is there a version of that Giffen poster that would work well as wallpaper on a widescreen monitor? This looks too blurry on mine.

And is there a link to the Ross one (that could also potentially serve as wallpaper)?

This is the one Legion piece of art that will most likely be forever out of my reach. I'd love a poster or limited edition print under three figures.

The Ross print really doesn't lend itself to being wallpaper unless you have a widescreen monitor and turn the image on its side. Or have a widescreen that rotates.

Lord yes!!!!

I requested this on the DCD message board a couple of years ago, and someone poo pooed the idea -- because he had the litho -- and wanted it to remain an exclusive.

I have no time for selfish, self-absorbed people like that. He has the litho -- we just want a friggin' poster!

And yes, I have the original Giffen poster.

Hey, that 2-page Cockrum spread from Superboy & the LSH 200 would also make one fantastic poster.

This is a good idea! The Ross, the Giffen, the Cockrum spread... there was also the spread from #300... maybe they could do a whole series of posters and splash pages.

Certainly a mass-produced poster would have less value than the original litho, so Litho Lad should be satisfied with his exclusivity.

Even a poster book, produced on slick paper. That would be a great item for the anniversary.
