Cover Contest
This issue's cover was created by a collaborative effort of 34 different artists, each artist or penciller/inker team handling a different character in the group portrait. To make things more interesting and fun, DC challenged the readers to identify which artists had handled each character, with a prize for the most accurate answer list. If you would like to try your own hand at matching artists with their work, the details of the contest rules are provided below, exactly as they appeared at the end of the Legion Outpost letter column in that issue. For a list of the contest answers, see the answer page.
