Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #320

This February 1985 DC issue spotlights "The Magpie Complex," and Dan Jurgens and Karl Kesel deliver a cover that pulls you right into the vertigo of the 30th century — a dizzying aerial view of a futuristic cityscape where a white-haired woman in a flowing white costume reaches downward with outstretched hands, while a Legionnaire in a star-spangled black suit scrambles across the rooftops below, and a third hero in green and yellow is visible far beneath them. The tilted, plunging perspective gives the whole image a breathless sense of urgency that perfectly suits the Legion's brand of cosmic-scale adventure. With Paul Levitz and Mindy Newell on scripting and Dan Jurgens on interiors, this is a sharp, confident chapter in the Legion's long-running saga.
