Legion of Super Heroes, Vol. 10
Legion of Super-Heroes Archives, Vol. 10 - Cary Bates,Dave Cockrum

This volume contains Dave Cockrum's landmark stint as the new illustrator for the series. The early 1970s was a tumultuous time in the industry and the many titles were being revamped and or canceled to make way for new creators and lines. Cockrum was fan of the series and made many costume decisions for the series, for better of for worse. He also made many character contributions. In the end, he committed fully to Marvel to work on the revived 'X-Men', creating Storm and Nightcrawler.

 

Despite other advancements, the stories here are still pretty shallow. The main writer is Cary Bates who doesn't seem to plan much for the long term in his storytelling. A lot of the new costumes were fan-service for the dudes that seem even more dated than the early '60s originals. In fact, there was a whole spread of costumes sent in by fans that thankfully were used only once or twice before settling into a slightly-less-cringey holey-jumpsuits and bikinis. Notably Phantom Girl gained pigtails and bell-bottoms and Princess Projectra's front bodice is only held together by two threads, for example. Chameleon Boy and Colossal Boy got thoughtful recreations of their costumes that complimented their characters. Huh. Funny.

 

Still, a whole lot of fun.

Reading progress update: I've read 100%.
As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride - Rob Reiner,Joe Layden,Cary Elwes
As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride - Cary Elwes,Christopher Guest,Carol Kane,Robin Wright,Wallace Shawn,Norman Lear,Billy Crystal,Rob Reiner,Joe Layden

And now I'm going to watch the movie all over again.

 

The nice thing about having the audio is that it is not only read by Mr. Elwes; it also features almost the entire cast, reading the comments that they contributed to his book.

 

The nice thing about having the print version is that it includes a section of behind-the-scene photos.  I also like the makeup of the book, which is printed on slightly thicker paper than usual; imitating the weight of medieval parchment.

 

Truly inconceivable that this movie took 13 years to be made, had been considered "unfilmable" for as long, and would almost have been buried by botched marketing even after it had been produced.  Thank Heaven for small mercies and the home video market.
