*Some artwork may be found in the Miscellaneous Characters Exhibit.

Though the Legion of Super-Heroes, with its abundance of highly detailed characters, was never one of Swan's favorite assignments, his work on the feature is nevertheless fondly remembered; a master of subtle expression, Swan made sure that each of the dozens of teenagers who populated the strip could be distinguished not simply by their costumes, but by their facial features and body language as well. Under Swan, each Legionnaire was a unique character in his own right.

Taken from Mark Waid's Biographies section in the Legion of Super-Heroes Archives: Volume 2.
