i have two pieces currently:
an ULTRABOY page by Matt Haley it wasn't actually used in an issue, though !! he said it was for an INVENTORY issue ?? not sure what one of those, is ....
my second one is page 14 of 'LEGIONNAIRES' #80, and i got it off Olivier Coipel when i met him last year [ in PARIS ]
i've included a photo, hopefully it's not too BIG !!?? [ not sure how to make them smaller ?? ]

I've got two pieces that were used in the first Mayfair sourcebook for the Legion, one of Garth and one of Imra. Surprisingly they are identical to the poses that Steve Lightle did for issue #11 of the third series but he claims he did not due them for the sourcebook and the credit was to an in-house artist for DC, no signature.
I also own a couple of color separations from the same series, one being the cover to Different Paths (issue #55) with Querl, Mysa, Nura and Blok on the cover. And I have two interior watercolored pages from the Genesis mini-series from 1997 with Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl featured. I want some more real art (like your Olivier page) but eBay's prices go way too high for me.

Wow! Now that is a list! A full story. How did you manage that?
As for Miki, he should just open up an original art musuem with all the pages he's gotten ahold of.

I'm about 80% sure that an "inventory issue" is basically a "fill-in" story -- something that's a stand-alone the editors can plop in whenever they have trouble meeting a deadline with the regular art team.
What was going on in the page you got from Haley? When was it done? Did he tell you what the issue was about?

i got the page off 'E-Bay' and Matt Haley was the seller !!! i asked him a few questions about the page, like what was it for etc .... he didn't really reply to any of them, though !!!
the page features ULTRABOY standing against a bar and he's surrounded by 4 costumed 'villains' and he's standing there with a 'bring it on' attitude !!!
it's a cool picture !!!

Hello Guys, I have a couple of Legion pages... I have one of Shady and Mon-el finding Darkseid's tomb...that was the issue before the Great Darkness Saga. The other page is a Giffen page done a few issue's later. When Shady, Tinya and Jo were blasted on un-concious. I think I paid about $20 each for them, right after the issues came out. I have a pen and Ink of Infectious Lass that Dave Cockrum did, and a White Witch that Bob McLeod did. The sad thing is I want more....

I've only got one Legion page, and it's from the TMK era. It's Devlin O'Ryan and the SW6 Violet talking about why the world needs heroes. It's a nice message, and was only $10 (thanks Al Gordon!)

These are my three original Legion production-art pages. The scans are small, since I used the ones made for the original auction or sale, but you can see who's in them. Especially those wings ...
From left to right: original drawing of Dawnstar and her parents by James Sherman for "Who's Who in the DC Universe" 1, 1985 (also signed a second time by Sherman); "LSH" v2 n282 p10, by Jim Janes; "LSH" v3 n23 p12, by Steve Lightle.

Healex, don't know if you are still hanging around or not but did you just try to sell this page? From your description it sounds like a page that was just up on eBay for $149.99.
