Close-up from the two-page spread depicting Duo Damsel’s and Bouncing Boy’s wedding, from Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes #200 (Feb. 1974). Art by Dave Cockrum.
It was DC’s refusal to return these two pages to Dave Cockrum that led him to leave the company and go to work for Marvel. Some at DC editorial whined that Cockrum was acting like a spoiled kid and they didn’t need him.
Meanwhile, Cockrum helped revitalize the X-Men, which became the most popular and best selling comic book for several years thereafter.

Another reason for going to ECCC was to get a piece by Steve Lieber (who drew the awesome “Superman’s Pal, Jimmy Olsen”). I’ve been wanting to get a jam piece done so I figured this was a good project to start, the Honorary Members of the Legion of Super-Heroes. I have a few other ideas for the back few pages of my sketchbook (the Subs? the Espionage Squad? The Fatal Five?) and this was fun to do so I’ll see what else I can have done.
Anyway, here are the Honorary Legionnaires: Jimmy “Elastic Lad” Olsen by Steve Lieber (as well as the layouts), Lana “Insect Queen” Lang by Dan Parent, Kid Psycho by Phillip Sevy, Pete Ross by Joe Eisma and Rond Vidar by Caitly Yarsky.
I want to get this professionally colored but wouldn’t mind seeing people try out their skills on it.

copying the artstyles was kind of difficult (specially with Kaito xd) but it was actually really fun, too
