341 – Grifter

338 – Impulse

334 – Saturn Girl

Another Legionnaire for Jim Purcell, co-host and creator of The Savage FINcast, a podcast the celebrates everything Savage Dragon and Erik Larsen related, in addition to being the newest podcast addition to the Gutter Trash Network. I think three podcasts makes it a network. I have enjoyed the two attempts at drawing Legion of Superhero …

Ok, PANIC!: Peanuts

Based on a true story.

330 – Golden Age Red Tornado

Another request from the Potter family, this one definitely from Sarah. If DC Comics wants to appeal to a larger audience with a strong female character, they can look no further than Ma Hunkel.

319 – Gypsy

I know absolutely nothing of this character other than she appeared in some vaguely remembered issues of Justice League International as part of Booster Gold’s commercially sponsored superhero team, and that she appeared briefly in an episode of Justice League Unlimited, phasing through a wall.
