L.E.G.I.O.N. '91 #23

Celebrating its "Third Smash Year," L.E.G.I.O.N. '91 #23 promises answers to a question the cover boldly poses: "Whatever Happened to the Durlan?" A massive, open-mouthed green Durlan face dominates the composition, while a purple-cloaked figure crouches amid a tangle of serpentine green limbs against a sprawling sci-fi cityscape backdrop — all rendered with striking energy by cover artist Richard Piers Rayner. With Alan Grant scripting and the creative team of Fern, Rayner, and DeMulder on interior art, this 1991 DC title delivers the kind of cosmic intrigue that kept L.E.G.I.O.N. readers eagerly turning pages.
