It was used as the cover of Legends #2.

From the Artist

It’s been a long time since my last cover art for Mkashef Enterprises. I’ve wanted to do this Kirk face for a while — sort of petulant, yet brooding. Of course, his mind is on Spock. [1]

Fan Comments

When I took Legends 2 out of the envelope, I was pleased to see another beautiful Shelley Butler cover. My first thought was "I wonder what they are thinking", only to find the title was "Lost in Thought". Shelley does her usual masterful job of portraying our two heroes. No one else in fandom draws such lifelike portraits, and captures them with such perfect details. Their hair, Spock’s ears, their furrowed brows, Kirk’s eyes, Kirk’s mouth, everything is just perfect. Shelley’s usual flowers are part of the picture, and I love where she has placed them. There are endless possibilities for what Kirk and Spock are thinking about. Hopefully nothing in their relationship is bringing such worried and concerned looks to both their faces! [2]

This is one Shelley's best Kirk faces! He has a brooding, pouty look that is very sexy! And of course Spock is perfect, as always, as the object of Kirk's thoughts. Actually it looks as though both men are each thinking of the other. Simply gorgeous. Shelley's trademark flowers add the finishing touch of course. Never stop drawing Shelley![3]
