Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #339

Steve Lightle's cover says it all with its bold tagline — "Make Way for the New Legionnaires!" — as a caped hero charges forward with glowing, ring-encircled fists while an enormous wave of colorful Legionnaires surges behind him in every direction. The sheer density of figures here is striking: flyers, fighters, and teammates in a dazzling array of costumes fill the image from corner to corner, conveying a Legion roster that feels genuinely vast and full of possibility. With Paul Levitz writing and Lightle handling both pencils and inks, this September 1986 issue promises a story that takes DC's 30th-century super-team in an exciting new direction.
