Legion of Super-Heroes #47

The headline "Last Rites for the Legion" sets an ominous tone for this September 1993 issue, and Stuart Immonen and Ron Boyd's cover delivers the chill — four Legionnaires rendered as walking skeletons in their distinctive costumes march forward in grim procession, their sun-symbol reds, iron-labeled blues, and earthy greens doing nothing to soften the death-march imagery. Tom and Mary Bierbaum were clearly not pulling punches with this era of Legion storytelling, and the stark, unsettling cover promises something with real weight behind it.
