Against a blazing red-and-gold background, Ken Steacy's cover for Legion of Super-Heroes #49 (August 1988) arranges four intense, close-cropped faces around a radiant central figure crackling with stellar energy — the tension in each expression making the story title "A Time to Live" feel genuinely urgent. Paul Levitz teams with Pat Broderick for this chapter, and the cover's bold graphic design gives the whole thing an almost cinematic weight. A fine entry in one of DC's most ambitious team books of the late 1980s.
