Legion of Super-Heroes #102

With the bold banner "A Planet in Peril!" looming above, this March 1998 issue of Legion of Super-Heroes throws readers straight into a sense of large-scale urgency. Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's cover is a kinetic rush of Legionnaires in motion — a energy-blasting figure in blue, a woman launching a brilliant pink beam overhead, a Legionnaire clutching a small orange-skinned child at the center, and a sprawling crowd of alien heroes filling every corner of the composition. With story work from Tom Peyer, Tom McCraw, and Jason Armstrong, issue #102 makes a compelling visual case that the title "Heroes" is going to be put to the test.
