Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #343

Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #343 puts Wildfire front and center — the energy-powered hero lunges dynamically toward the reader in his distinctive red-and-gold containment suit, while the bold cover copy promises both his "Death" and "Rebirth," with smaller figures and mysterious machinery visible in the shadowy background. Dave Cockrum handles both pencils and inks on this striking January 1987 cover, delivering the kind of kinetic superhero energy he was known for. With Cary Bates scripting "The One-Shot Hero!", this issue looks to put one of the Legion's most unique members through the wringer in a genuinely compelling way.
