L.E.G.I.O.N. '92 #39

A massive, rotund crime lord sits enthroned on a plush carpet while a cool-headed L.E.G.I.O.N. operative in a black-and-white uniform levels a blaster squarely at the reader — all against a backdrop of full-blown chaos where energy blasts, explosions, and a scramble of alien figures fill the air. The cover by penciler Kevin Maguire and inker Karl Kesel strikes a sharp contrast between the seated villain's smug composure and the all-out firefight erupting behind him. With Alan Grant and Barry Kitson steering the story in this May 1992 issue, "Payback Time!" promises exactly the kind of tense, galaxy-spanning confrontation the title does so well.
