DC Comics Presents #13

Superman finds himself at odds with his own future allies in this 1979 team-up from DC Comics Presents, billed boldly as "The Greatest Team-Up of All Time-and-Space." The cover by Dick Dillin and Dick Giordano crackles with tension as three Legion of Super-Heroes members — a black-and-gold-costumed hero wielding an energy ring, a red-suited figure charging forward, and a pink-clad heroine — along with a yellow-costumed woman warning "You must not interfere with this alien race's destiny!" confront a defiant Superman, who fires back that their inaction will condemn those same beings to a thousand-year war. It's a genuinely compelling moral standoff rendered with dynamic energy, and Paul Levitz's "To Live in Peace-- Nevermore!" promises the kind of high-stakes cosmic dilemma that makes DC's team-up era so satisfying.
