Cover Scan

I am slowly working my way through all of the covers. Generally speaking, the older an issue is, the longer it takes me to get a good clean image, because I have to spend time Photoshopping out creases and tears, correcting fading/yellowing, etc. The very oldest covers (and the more battered copies in my own collection) may take me 2-3 hours from scan to finished image (60-90 minutes is typical). I've been trying to balance my attention across all eras/periods, so that no one time expanse gets neglected, but what that generally means is that for every old Adventure issue I upload, 4-5 issues from some later period come next. However, at this point pretty much all the primary Legion issues outside of Adventure are represented, so I will prioritize the Adventures. You're creating new pages faster than I will be able to produce the images (and please, don't let that slow you down). For now, we'll either have to wait for me to fill in the covers for the pages you create, or you can focus on issues for which covers have already been uploaded (check the Adventure publication history).
