Legion of Super-Heroes #18

A dense, unsettling crowd of figures — each face obscured by a dark, hollow circular void — fills this May 1991 cover for Legion of Super-Heroes #18, an image that feels equal parts ominous and hypnotic. The varied clothing and body types suggest a sprawling cast drawn from across the Legion's far-future universe, yet every identity is eerily erased, perfectly evoking the issue's story title, "Dark Circle." Keith Giffen's pencils and Al Gordon's inks deliver a cover that's genuinely striking in its restraint, letting that single repeated motif do all the unsettling work.
