File:legacy1-1.jpg|interior art from issue #1, by Shelley Butler, see fan comments for The Beginning
File:legacy1-4.jpg|interior art from issue #1, "Forty Years of Love" by Liz -- "This is just an awesome black and white representation of Kirk and Spock through the years. Completely professional in appearance, it features them predominately in their STVI years with TMP and TOS portraits of them drifting away from the main picture. In each rendition, their faces are close together signifying their eternal togetherness. That should be enough to satisfy anyone, but it doesn’t stop there. The main faces are within a transparent sphere – like a glass bubble on which is engraved “40 Years of Love”. Too bad you don’t work for Paramount, Liz. The whole world should see this – TOS fans everywhere would be as enchanted by it as I am." Another fan writes: "Oh, this is nice! Three photos of Kirk and Spock from the early years, middle years and later during the movie years. What an amazing journey they have taken and we have traveled along with them every step of the way. Liz doesn’t usually use CGA or photos in her art, but this works really well. A perfect way to start this extraordinary project." 
File:legacy1-2.jpg|interior art from issue #1, "United" by Acidqueen -- "Bold heavy lines. A pen and ink of Kirk and Spock on what I take to be the plains of the Sas’a’shar Desset before the mountain of Gol. The pose is classic. Kirk and Spock in intricately designed robes and toasting each other with arms entwined. Perhaps they are celebrating their bonding ceremony?" 
File:legacy1-3.jpg|interior art from issue #1, "Bridge Game" by Deeb -- "What a treat! This picture illustrates that very famous scene that takes place between Kirk and Spock on the deserted bridge from Courts of Honor. You know the one. And so fitting since it appears in the middle of the interview with Syn Ferguson when she is discussing the writing and publication of that very seminal piece of K/S fiction. Thank you, Deeb. So well done and seething with emotion."

File:legacy2-1.jpg|"Joined" by Acidqueen -- "JOINED by Acidqueen—opp. pg. 80. A lovely explicit pencil drawing of Kirk and Spock making love. I adore explicit art and wish there was more though I realize it’s harder to sell than the generic kind. This one is very nice. They are indeed, “joined,” with Kirk’s front nestled against Spock’s back, and they are sharing a kiss. The rumpled bedding, shading, contrast are all very fine, but I am a bit confused at the location of what I picture is Spock’s penis. It seems “off” somehow. Many pleasurable moments have been spent contemplating this." from The K/S Press #133
File:legacy2-2.jpg|"In a Hurry" by Virginia Sky -- "IN A HURRY by Virginia Sky—opp. pg. 130. And now for something completely different.... Tuxedoes are open and flying everywhere. Kirk and Spock have obviously come straight from their bonding /wedding ceremony, and Spock is in a tearing hurry to get on to the next order of business! Done in a quirky, cartoon style, I can’t begin to imagine how this was accomplished. I do know I love it. Just adorable!" 
File:legacy2-3.jpg|"Somewhere in Time" by Ivy -- "SOMEWHERE IN TIME by Ivy Hill—Frontispiece. A lovely cga of Kirk and Spock looking at each other. The Kirk photo is from “A Taste of Armageddon.” You know the shot—Kirk is looking at Spock with so much affection in his expression. The photos are set against larger misty photos of them both from the movie years. A perfect representation of a love that spans year after year." Another fan writes: "What a lovely title for wonderful artwork. A beautiful cga of the series Kirk and Spock looking at each other, Kirk quite amused by his Vulcan obviously. Shadowed behind them is an older Spock and Kirk from the movies."

File:legacy3-1.jpg|inside art from issue #3, "Hidden Natures" by Liz -- "The artwork for this story is by Liz called Hidden Natures. A wonderful photo-mannipulation that is just incredible. How do you do this? There is a back ground picture of Kirk‘s eyes and Spock‘s eyes overshadowing with smaller views of Kirk and Spock through different episodes. Within the picture is an eagle and unicorn. Lovely visuals. 
File:legacy3-2.jpg|inside art from issue #3, "The Birthday Celebration" by Myra -- "There is amusing art by Myra called 'A Birthday Celebration' of posable dolls. Kirk is trying on several sexy outfits only to find that Spock prefers him in his uniform. Cute...cute…cute. 
File:legacy3-3.jpg|inside art from issue #3, "Kirk's Confession" by Linda Wan -- "Kirk‘s Confession by Linda Wan is a lovely drawing of a side view of Spock looking at Kirk (with really pretty hair), his expression is tortured and strong at the same time. Support, love and trust is conveyed with the expressions of this art. Again, how do artists do this??? 
File:legacy3-4.jpg|inside art from issue #3, "Anguish" by Ivy Hill -- "Anguish: An unusual presentation of Kirk looking down, appearing . . . the only word for it is ‘anguished’. It is the perfect artwork for Kirk in this wonderful story, ‘An Eye for an Eye’ by Debbie Cummins.

* art by Liz "Mooning" (opposite 191)
File:Legacy4-1.jpg|inside art from issue #4, "Mooning" by Liz -- "An intriguiging cga that isn‘t what the title would lead you to suspect. Kirk is in semi-profile against a moon, the whole set against an amorphous, hazy version of Spock‘s face. Fits Kirk‘s thoughts exactly at this point in Anna S. Greener‘s story 'Storm.' 
File:Legacy4-2.jpg|inside art from issue #4, "A Winter Holiday" by Linda Wan -- " Perhaps Jim Kirk has finally lured Spock back to Iowa to share one of those cold Christmas holidays he remembers so fondly. They are both outside, Spock seated with Jim on his lap. Spock looks to be pretty well bundled up against the cold...all but those elegant ears. The textures of the heavy clothing, leather (synth- leather, I should say), snow and bare branches are all done very well. I can feel the cold as well as the loving heat from his bondmate that keeps Spock warm. 
File:Legacy4-3.jpg|alt=inside art from issue #4, "Ring of Fire" by Ivy -- "Ring of Fire: Kirk and Spock from Errand of Mercy, very effective black and white. Kirk is looking back at Spock and you only have a side view of Kirk’s face, Spock is behind Kirk looking at him, close enough to kiss. The perfect accompaniment to the story, On the Edge by Patricia Roe about their time on Organia." Another fan writes: "Kirk and Spock embracing in the rain. Not a storm, I think, but a soft gentle rain. It is illustrating ―T‘hy‘la‖ by Diegina and takes place during a vacation spent in a forest cabin on Earth. Both are dressed in casual clothing. Kirk‘s face is hidden against Spock‘s. The rain lends an intimacy enhanced by placing the whole picture inside a border. A close-in look at a moment captured in time. Very nice.|inside art from issue #4, "Ring of Fire" by Ivy -- "Ring of Fire: Kirk and Spock from Errand of Mercy, very effective black and white.

As always, rain adds another dimension of gentleness, love and sensuousness. I just don’t know how she does it— course, I don’t know how she does any of this." Another fan writes: "A lovely cga from Errand of Mercy showing Kirk and Spock in Organian costumes from the waist up. Kirk is turned to look over his shoulder at Spock. The background has been blanked out. The whole illo is rendered in muted gray tones. Kirk is cast in light, Spock in shadow. I have seen this picture done in soft sepia hues, and I will admit to liking that version better, but the whole composition is very lovely and conveys a wealth of emotion. They are so together, communicating easily without the need for words. Perfect, Ivy. Thank you.

File:legacy5-1.jpg|inside art from issue #5, "Puzzle" by Liz -- "This is such an intriguing piece! And speaking of pieces, it depicts in jigsaw pieces a portrait of Spock: pensive, thoughtful, and perhaps concerned. Some of the pieces have fallen away, and if we look closely, we see they are comprised of images not just of Spock, but Kirk as well. Some show them together in pivotal scenes from TOS, and there is a smiling, bewitching Kirk that is perhaps at the center of all things for this troubled Vulcan. The symbolism here is brilliant – I want to take Spock by the shoulders, make him look at me and when he does, assure him all the pieces will fall into place one day and Kirk will be his. Without words, this talented artist has managed to capture the awful turmoil that a dynamic human has caused his quiet and sensitive first officer. Amazing."from The K/S Press #136 Another fan writes: "I love how Liz is always willing to step outside the box and try something new. This is an actual puzzle of Spock‘s face. Some of the pieces very tellingly reveal pictures of Kirk. Yes, indeed, the captain is a big part of the puzzle that goes to make up this complex man. So different, this cga just captured my attention, and provided many interesting and enjoyable contemplative moments. 
File:legacy5-2.jpg|inside art from issue #5, "Whispers of Love" by Ivy Hill -- "Oh my, what a wonderful, sweet but powerful piece of artwork. I want to say this is my favorite piece of artwork ever except I can’t simply because of her artwork in Beyond Dreams called Love Knot. Despite the fact that I am one of those unenlightened fans who does not like explicit artwork, Love Knot is simply the most powerful piece that I have ever seen, I look at it and feel my chest tighten up with the love that you can see in Kirk’s face and Spock’s embrace. Hmmm, where was I? I was supposed to be talking about Whispers of Love which would be my favorite piece of artwork if it wasn’t for the image of Love Knot in my mind. In Whispers of Love, I can imagine several story ideas with this artwork. Done in light tones, almost angelic appearing, Spock in a white robe and Kirk in a white sweater, they are holding each other with gentleness and I think Kirk’s eyes are closed. Tremendously touching and sweet, and I cannot do it justice with my inadequate comments." Another fan writes: "Wow! I dare you not to suck in your breath when seeing this one for the first time. Kirk and Spock all in white embracing each other. I‘d really like to know what was in Ivy‘s mind while she was creating this. My first impression is that the guys are finally together, young and beautiful again, after having been separated by Spock‘s death. Is this heaven? A dream? Whatever she was thinking of, this is a cga that invites the imagination to come out and play. It is gorgeous and emotionally very moving. Brava, Ivy!" 
File:legacy5-3.jpg|inside art from issue #5, "I Love You" by Deeb -- "I adore this illo. This also was printed with my story and illustrates a pivotal scene. Deeb has always known how to press my buttons with her K/S art, and she definitely does it again here. Most unusual in that it is lighted from beneath their faces looking up. I love the intensity of Kirk‘s hand grasping Spock‘s uniform, the passion I can read in his face. Yes, Deeb! That‘s what I had in mind!"
