Legion of Super-Heroes #16

A furious battle dominates this March 1991 installment of DC's Legion of Super-Heroes, with a blond Legionnaire — Legion flight ring clearly visible — lunging through a sky choked with crimson smoke and explosive bursts. Looming in the foreground is an enormous, heavily armed mechanized figure, its weapons trained on the charging hero while troops mass on the rubble-strewn ground below. Keith Giffen and Al Gordon bring a gritty, war-zone intensity to the cover that makes this volume's 16th issue hard to put down.
