[edit] Legion of Super-Heroes
In comics he is perhaps best remembered as a penciller for Legion of Super-Heroes in the late 1970s, when he took over as regular artist following Mike Grell. His run which ended halfway during the multiple issue Earthwar story arc due to his displeasure with the direction of the storyline. According to an interview[1], he did not like the ending which had Mordru the magician turn out as the final villain behind all the different factions attacking earth. He walked off the title and was replaced by Joe Staton.
His run as the regular penciller on Legion (vol. 2) ran from issue #225[2] (March 1977) to #242 [3](August 1978).
