Then I remembered, that I only really know the character from Spaceopoly. Since you can't have too much Legion World, everything is fine again. Sorry? Quit yapping and talk about the covers? They are really nice. It must be pretty cool for a band to get a grade A comics artist to do your album covers. What other comic artists have done album covers I wonder... "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

I know a lot of sci fi illustrators have also done album covers, but I'm not really familiar with other examples of comic artists working on them, though it seems like it ought to be more of a thing.
