Tales of the Legion of Super-Heroes #344

The cover of this February 1987 DC issue sets a tense, visually striking scene above the deathworld called Tyrral, with two Legionnaires tumbling helplessly through a web of crisscrossing laser beams while a winged insectoid figure hovers below them and an armored foe bearing down from above. Kevin Nowlan's linework gives the whole composition a sharp, kinetic energy that makes the danger feel immediate and real. Inside, Paul Levitz scripts and Greg LaRocque pencils "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" — a title that promises the Legion's heroism will come at a steep price.
