Legion of Super-Heroes #40

Steve Lightle's cover for Legion of Super-Heroes #40 says it all with one chilling image: a massive, glowing hand bearing Starfinger's star-emblazoned emblem dominates the composition, its enormous fingers curling around several helpless Legionnaires who struggle and scramble amid shattered debris. The tagline "What Starfinger Touches…" hangs ominously over the scene, promising that this November 1987 issue from Paul Levitz, Greg LaRocque, and Mike DeCarlo delivers the Legion facing a threat quite literally larger than themselves. It's a striking piece of cover design that captures the sense of scale and menace Starfinger brings to the 30th century.
