L.E.G.I.O.N. '91 #34

That single dry "Ouch." says everything you need to know about the predicament on this striking Kevin Maguire and Karl Kesel cover: a white-haired, caped figure is caught in a crushing vice of jagged metal teeth, chains binding his ankles as the walls close in around him. Alan Grant and Barry Kitson bring the story "Major Quake" to L.E.G.I.O.N. '91 #34, and the cover alone promises a chapter where someone is having a very bad day. It's a wonderfully deadpan image that balances genuine peril with a dark sense of humor — exactly the kind of storytelling flair this series delivered in 1991.
