[edit] Art choices

This page currently has three scans of Dawnstar's appearances:

• In a Legion character-description feature in Legion of Super-Heroes (v3) 17, 1985, art by Greg LaRocque and Larry Mahlstedt.
• On the newly created cover of the reissued hardback edition of Crisis on Infinite Earths, 2000, art by George Pérez and Alex Ross.
• In her recent (published May 2007) return to DC Comics continuity in Justice League of America (v2) 9, art by Ed Benes.

In a revision today, I placed the third scan noted above under "Recent appearances," as it relates to the (currently spoiler-warned) reappearance of Dawnstar in the current "Lightning Saga" crossover story.

The first scan noted above is, I suggest, the best choice for the "superhero box" of standard information. It's a more encyclopedic reference, as it has one of the few unobscured views from the comics of all of Dawnstar's limbs and outfit elements, from her wings to her boots.

For this reason, and because bots have been removing unlinked art from Wikipedia's database, I've restored the LaRocque/Mahlstedt art to the information box. - Greybird 11:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Today I added a scan, under "Recent appearances," of a panel from Action Comics 859 that fully depicts Gary Frank's redesign of Dawnstar's outfit. This new look has also been announced for use by artist George Pérez in the forthcoming "Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds" mini-series. - Greybird (talk) 03:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
