Dave Cockrum. THE ART AND LIFE OF DAVE COCKRUM (TwoMorrows) As the title says, the book features the projects Cockrum had been involved with, including of course the Legion, as well as his sample work and designs for Legionnaires and foes, some of which later transformed into the X-Men.
He remained the artist on the Superboy series after the Legion of Super-Heroes became the main feature of the book with #197 and his art redefined the look of the Legion, creating new costumes and designs that would last until artist Keith Giffen did a similar revamp in the 1980s.
In 1973, Legion artist Dave Cockrum was the artist for Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes. He created and proposed many new characters as additions to the Legion of Super-Heroes universe: Nightcrawler, whom Cockrum famously repurposed as a new X-Man in 1974; A green bird-girl with wings from her arms called Quetzal.
So to help remind people of who Dave Cockrum is and how important he was to comics, here are but a FEW of the countless Dave Cockrum accomplishments! Fourteen (count 'em, 14!) of these Legionnaires' looks were designed by Dave! Wildfire was created by Dave.

A mash-up of some of Dave's Legion art. Dave's sample pages he submitted to DC, which helped land him the Legion gig.
Newcomer Mike Grell was given the tough task of filling Dave Cockrum's shoes for SUPERBOY AND THE LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, drawing one of comics' most intricate and popular super-teams.
The mind-deadingly prolific Dave Cockrum came to the Legion during one of its leanest periods. Over the course of a mere 12 issues, virtually single-handedly, he revitalised the ailing Legion with improved settings, equipment and costumes.
