Analysis Notes
| General |
This covers a wide body of Alex Ross’ comics work,
from his days on Terminator: The Burning Earth up through Earth
X. Some Legion content is included. A curiosity not mentioned
in here is that the shot of the Legion included in Kingdom Come
#1 featured the first glimpse at the postboot Legionnaires XS. |

This page has Ross’ designs for Shadow Lass, Timber
Wolf, and Karate Kid in the style used for the preboot Legionnaires/postboot
continuity characters. The basic appearance for Karate Kid was largely
used when he was introduced in the postboot Legion continuity in Legionnaires
#21, but the other two characters were reintroduced later and the design
impetus shifted to other styles. |

A headshot of Mon-El is here among the other Superman tropes. |

This page has the Crisis on Infinite Earths poster
Ross painted over George Perez’s pencils. It appears again,
smaller, on page 91. |

This has Ross’ cover to The Overstreet Comic
Book Price Guide from 1999, a tribute to the cover of Adventure
Comics #247. |

Amidst the childhood sketches here is the prototype of
the Kingdom Come Starman, the adult Star Boy in a full-head mask. |

This is the 1970s Legion print Ross did for the Warner
Brothers Stores, which was priced at close to $500 each (framed). |
