Legion of Super-Heroes #47

A long-simmering confrontation arrives in this June 1988 installment of Paul Levitz's run, as the cover — penciled and inked by Ken Steacy — puts a blue-suited Legionnaire face-to-face with the yellow-clad Starfinger, energy crackling at the point where their hands meet. Armed soldiers loom in the background alongside an ominous red-tinged shadow, while the cover's twin taglines — "Finally… Face-to-Face with Starfinger…" and "…But at What Cost?" — make clear the stakes feel genuinely high. It's a tense, dramatically lit composition that rewards anyone who's been following the Legion's slow build toward this showdown.
