Legion of Super-Heroes #49 leans into pure playful absurdity with what the cover itself boldly proclaims "The World's 1st Edible Cover" — a tongue-in-cheek 1993 DC stunt that's hard not to love. Stuart Immonen and Ron Boyd's cover art features a sharp-dressed fellow in blue shades nibbling the corner of the issue itself, while a bearded, bespectacled face floats in a thought-bubble above a giant "BURGER" sign backdrop. It's a genuinely charming, self-aware piece of comics humor from the Bierbaum-era Legion run.
