Legionnaires #4

A urgent "3…" countdown sets an ominous tone for this July 1993 entry in DC's Legion spinoff series. Chris Sprouse and Karl Story's cover crackles with energy as a green-costumed, blonde Legionnaire recoils from a blinding beam fired by a massive spiked mechanical eye, while two teammates in white-and-yellow flight suits surge in behind her. Tom and Mary Bierbaum's story, rendered in the interior by the same Sprouse–Story art team, promises the kind of high-stakes cosmic tension that makes the 30th century such an exciting place to visit.
