The designer? Well that's me Nicholas "Nick" Pascale. Just go to Adventure Comics Annual #403 turn to the special feature: FASHIONS from FANS and you will see mine is the first one. It later appeared in the oft spoke about story in Superboy #193, The War Between the Nights and the Days! Plotted again by me!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07387483933600554187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-92179478184637213932009-10-07T10:07:47.020-04:002009-10-07T10:07:47.020-04:00Gary - Actually she isn't born yet.

Mostly because of that two part Mordru story. We really got to see her personality. I love that story. I have no idea why her costume was so bland: A dress with a cape. That's it.

I believe they actually published the fan design with some others that were actually used as least once. Adventure Comics 403, perhaps? Thanks for the additional info!Gene Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11934517610414260010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-32741512842930815132009-10-05T20:05:36.931-04:002009-10-05T20:05:36.931-04:00Sweet work as always, Gene!

Love that she's posing on her hubby!<br /><br />I give major kudos for my love of Ms. Durgo-Taine to Jim Shooter, who really took the effort to give most of the Legionnaires personalities (while Curt Swan gave them individual features). I loved that Luornu had a major crush on the Boy of Steel, even though she knew there was no chance of a real relationship (since he was from the past-- history and all that...). <br /><br />BTW, this is a Cockrum costume design that WASN'T designed by Dave-- this was a letter fan design that ended up being used for a specific story, which Duo Damsel needed a special costume to halt a planetary war based on one side constantly bathed in darkness, while the other constantly in daylight. Dave jazzed up the design with the cape, belt and funky go-go boots!LUD!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15105421201321108389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-46809542000867247682009-10-05T19:33:58.614-04:002009-10-05T19:33:58.614-04:00You had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the ...You had me on the edge of my seat waiting for the reveal Gene! Happy Birthday Luornu!! And thank YOU Gene. It seems that WE are the ones to get the "present" of seeing this great pin-up. The fact that it also happens to be of a Legionnaire is simply "icing on the cake!" Hope you like this series you have going....cuz WE sure do!!Royce Throwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156766579998174592noreply@blogger.com
