Legionnaires #27

The cover of Legionnaires #27 declares "First Strike!" in bold lettering, and the image delivers — a bald, menacing villain has a grip on a brown-haired Legionnaire while a firearm discharges point-blank, as a second hero in dark armor moves in to counter the attack. Below the central struggle, a dark-haired Legionnaire in white swoops through the air while additional heroes and fleeing civilians scatter across the background. Penciled by Jeffrey Moy and inked by W. C. Carani, it's a kinetic, well-staged cover that sets an urgent tone for Tom Peyer and Tom McCraw's story "Eyes of Hate!" — one of those mid-1990s DC entries that kept Legion fans eagerly turning pages.
