“Who Is the Dark Man?”

A super-length epic from December 1980, this issue of Legion of Super-Heroes poses a tantalizing question right on the cover: "Do You Dare Learn the Identity of the Dark Man?" The cover by Jimmy Janes and Dick Giordano depicts a menacing cyborg figure presenting a captured group of Legionnaires — including figures in green, yellow, blue, and red costumes — helplessly bundled together, while a shadowy, cloaked figure looms in the foreground demanding answers. The mystery-villain setup and the Legion's apparent helplessness make this Gerry Conway–penned issue a genuinely compelling read for any fan of the 30th-century's greatest heroes.
