It is one spring morning in Metropolis, 2966. In front of the Super-Hero Clubhouse, there is a long line of hopefull Legion Applicants. The Legionnaires are even now interviewing somebody who calls herself "Astounding Girl". "Please demonstrate your super power, Applicant!" Cosmic Boy requests. The next poster continues...

Title: Re: New Legion Tale (not really) Post by: ProfPotter on March 03, 2005, 02:15:53 PM It's from the elusive Elseworlds 80-page Giant that was never distributed in the USA. As I understand it, it was just the one page.
Other one pagers included Batman with Eve in "The Garden of Evil", done in the style of 1950's Batman (Eve: "Odd, I never see Batman and Adam in the same place... I wonder..."). And The Golden Age Teen Titans, starring Dr. Fate Jr, Kid Spectre, Li'l Atom, The Amazon Prince, The Golden Age Arsenal, and Stripsey; in the style of Silver Age Teen Titans. And the Metal Men set during the French Revolution, in the style of 1960's Metal Men. They are all quite wonderful. Title: Re: New Legion Tale (not really) Post by: ProfPotter on March 03, 2005, 02:47:09 PM There apparently were others; the entire feature was by Mark Waid and Ty Templeton called "DC's Hall of Silver Age Elseworlds." In addition to the ones, I listed, there are "President Abraham (Brainiac) Lincoln versus Clark Kent, Metallo," (http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/images/E80-Ckent.jpg) "Luthor's Daughter, Wonder Woman," (http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/images/E80-LLWW.jpg) "Batman with Robin, the Squid Wonder," (http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/images/E80-Batsquid.jpg) and "Menace of the Gorilla-Explorer" (http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/images/E80-Flash.jpg) featuring Christopher Grodd Columbus.
And here's links to the other pages: Metal Men (http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/images/E80-metalmen.jpg) Batman with Eve (http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/images/E80-Bateve.jpg) Golden Age Teen Titans (http://blaklion.best.vwh.net/images/E80-GATT.jpg) Here's a link to the description of the entire issue: http://www.lby3.com/comic/archive/elseworlds.html Title: Re: New Legion Tale (not really) Post by: Mizrael on March 03, 2005, 03:03:36 PM I liked this one:
