L.E.G.I.O.N. '91 #26

Bathed in hellish orange flame, this 1991 DC entry in the L.E.G.I.O.N. '91 series features a brooding, dark-haired figure in the foreground while a massive, menacing face looms from the inferno behind him and a blonde woman reaches out amid the blaze. Dan Brereton's painted cover work gives the whole composition a visceral, almost cinematic intensity that suits the series' gritty sci-fi tone. With Alan Grant and Barry Kitson driving the story, "Bangs and Whimpers" promises the kind of charged interstellar drama that made this title a standout on 1991 DC's shelves.
