Legion of Super-Heroes #31

This 1992 installment of Legion of Super-Heroes wears its heart on its sleeve — quite literally, with a heart-shaped credits box and the bold subtitle "Romance" splashed across the masthead. Colleen Doran and Al Gordon's cover captures a quietly heartbreaking moment: a red-haired young woman chokes back tears while a blond Legionnaire in a heavy jacket stares ahead, oblivious, as her speech bubble asks the aching question, "He spends so much time saving the world… when will he find time for ME?" Subtitled "The Elements of Heartbreak!" and featuring work from the Giffen/Bierbaum writing team alongside art from Curt Swan, this issue promises that even superheroes can leave the people they love waiting.
