News: Best of Legion Outpost Contains Some Pérez Art
|
BEST OF THE LEGION OUTPOST (Nov 2004)
I just thought that I'd drop you a line and let you know that my next book, The Best of the Legion Outpost, is scheduled to ship on Nov. 24. It also has some Perez artwork in it, although not as much as the Legion Companion. Some of it's never been printed before, and some of it hasn't been seen in a long time, so if you're a diehard Perez fan, you might want to check it out. Attached is the revised cover for the book. (Vu: Cover on the official website is slightly different.)

Best of the Legion Outpost
Friday, September 24, 2004 9:37:28 AMOriginally published in 1972 as the official newsletter of the Legion Fan Club, the Legion Outpost soon became the premier Legion of Super-Heroes fanzine of the 1970s, featuring contributions by fans, pros, and soon-to-be pros. Launched at a time when the future of the Legion of Super-Heroes was in doubt, the Legion Outpost was at the center of fan-based efforts to revive the title, and was largely responsible for its rescue from obscurity, leading to it becoming a runaway best-seller! This trade paperback collects the best material from the hard-to-find fanzine, including rare interviews and articles from creators such as Dave Cockrum, Cary Bates, and Jim Shooter, plus never-before-seen artwork by Cockrum, Mike Grell, Jimmy Janes and others! It also features a previously unpublished interview with Keith Giffen originally intended for the never-published Legion Outpost #11, plus other new material! And it sports a rarely-seen classic 1970s cover by Legion fan favorite artist Dave Cockrum!
The 160 page (plus cover), square bound 8-1/2" x 11" trade paperback with full color covers and black-and-white interiors ships November 2004.
$22 Postpaid (Canada: $24, Elsewhere: $25 Surface, $29 Airmail)
