Legion of Super-Heroes #112

Three Legionnaires — one in red and white, one in purple, and a shadowy dark figure — are overwhelmed by a writhing swarm of green tentacled creatures on Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's lively cover, with the tagline "Chewed Up… And Spit Out!" setting a thrillingly dire tone. This February 1999 installment of Legion of Super-Heroes carries the story title "Bound Together," and the cover's chaos of alien tendrils and panicked heroes makes it easy to see why that title feels loaded with meaning. With a creative team including writers Tom Peyer and Tom McCraw alongside artist Scott Kolins, this is the kind of far-future DC adventure that reminds you why the Legion's corner of the universe is so endlessly compelling.
