“The Dazzling Debut of Dawnstar!”

The cover of this April 1977 issue says it all — the winged, yellow-costumed Dawnstar stands front and center, surrounded by a skeptical Legion that includes Superboy and several teammates, with dialogue bubbles making clear her bold attempt to help didn't go quite as planned. Mike Grell's cover art frames the tension beautifully, with Dawnstar's spread wings and confident stance contrasting wonderfully against the dubious expressions closing in around her. Paul Levitz and artist Mike Nasser bring the interior story to life under the tantalizing header "Introducing… A Beautiful Disaster…?" — a premise that promises plenty of superhero drama with a fresh face at its heart.
