I've definitely seen the Legion depicted by these from the list...
Neal Adams (covers in the early 70's or late 60's)
Carmine Infantino (that digest and a backup story)
Nick Cardy (covers in the early 70's)
Steve Ditko (fill-ins before Giffen came along)
Dick Dillin (in the JLA/JSA/Legion crossover)
Brian Bolland (at least one DC Comics Presents cover)
Murphy Anderson (he inked a Dave Cockrum story and one of the issues from Earthwar)
I may be mistaken, but I don't think any of the others have drawn them.

IIRC Nick Cardy drew the story featuring featuring the Tornado Twins...and the same issue had a cover by Neal Adams. (two at once - sweet) The closest I ever saw to Kirby art on the LSH was the Amalgam Spiderboy comic. Not bad either, an interesting look at might-have-beens. All that Curt Swan artwork and no Murphy Anderson? Really? I though the two were inseperable as a team for years. No Mike Sekowsky pics surprises me too. He was a hot property on the first incarnation of the JLA and that was roughly concurrent with the Legion's formative Adventure years...waitaminnit, didn't he have a part in the first Dr. Mantis Morlo story? Jim Steranko Brian Bolland Berni Wrightson Alex Toth Will Eisner *drool* Not any artwork out there of the Legion by these guys that I know of but I just know it'd be exceptional if there was. -if you know where to find some link it up!-  JRjr would be cool I guess but I'm not sure it would be anything to shout about from the rooftops. ...and there are a couple of guys there I don't know anything about.

Neal Adams drew several latter-day ADVENTURE covers. Good stuff it was too! But Yellow, the Tornado Twins tale is drawn by none other than the groovy super-faboo WIN MORTIMER, whose Legion work is grossly underappreciated.
I'd love to see the following take a stab at a Legion tale:
MIKE ALLRED
DARWYN COOKE
JAE LEE
BILL SCIENZWICZ (sic)

Really? I had the distinct impression that it was Nick Cardy on the art chores for that one. I guess 'ol Morty really outdid himself to tell the story of Barry Allen's descendants.
Great list too, Lash. I'd love to see a SCIENZWICZ (sic) pic of the Legion in his New Mutants/Warlock style of illustrating.

I think Jae Lee's style would fit a Shadow lass story really well. I also think Marc Silvestri (sp?) would be an awesome guest artist

Back when Image was all the rage, I kinda wished the Legion could have had an artistic treatment like that. In fact, IIRC, at that time, The Legion on the Run was happening. I kept imagining the new costumes and attitudes all Image-y. Probably not a popular opinion, but I liked all the splashy art. Not that I purchased much of it...

IVAN REIS!!
I hope that once he's done on Blackest Night, his next project is Levitz's return to the Legion. I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope!

That would be too sweet. Can't imagine it happening though, not for an extended stay. He's too big.

I thought about getting a sketch of Kid Psycho done by Allred, but I couldn't get one anyway.
What do you guys think of Amanda Conner drawing a story about Night Girl and the Subs?

Oh and hey, what about Adam Warren? You think his style might work for a version of the Legion?

Steve Epting, but he's Marvel-exclusive ATM and probably not interested anyway. He does want a second shot at Superman, though*, so if that happens he could end up drawing the Legion at least as guest stars.
* In the late 90s, he was fired from Superman after just a few issues, due to editorial and creative reshuffling.

I'm so old school. I'd love to see either Romita (Sr. or Jr.) drawing the Legion. Let's get Tom Palmer to ink, so long as I'm dreaming out loud. 
Hey, Kids! My "Cranky and Kitschy" collage art is now viewable on DeviantArt! Drop by and tell me that I sent you. *updated often!*

Oh, and I'd totally read a Legion story if Joan Hilty wrote it and drew it. I remember her comedic super-heroines from her days on Kitchen Sink's Gay Comics.

YEAH! I can just see it... The Kree-Khund War by Roy Thomas, Paul Levitz, Adams & Palmer. It makes my heart ache just thinking about it.

But they won't.

On a serious note I'd love to see a Legion story drawn by Walt Simonson.
On a not-so-serious note wouldn't it be a great to see the Legion as they would look if the Archie comics artist drew them?
Has this been done already? If so, I'd love to see it!

Whilst it would be great to see Walt grace the Legion again you do realise he has already contributed to three issues over the years?
He drew #237 of Superboy and the Legion (even though you would hardly know it was him thanks to Jack Abels inks, he also drew the Fires of Creation story in Legion #100 and was one of the many pencillers in Legion #94.
But yes more Simonson on the Legion would be great just not very likely at present as he is supposedly stil working on his original graphic novel for Wildstorm and has apparently promised to not take on too much extra work until it is finished.

Ah yes .... I had forgotten that post Garth and Imra wedding issue that Simonson penciled. You are correct, Jack Abel's inks did overpower him a bit).
I do not remember his works on both Legion #100 or Legion #94. Have to go back and check those two out. Thanks!
