The Legion of Super-Heroes #276

In "Lord Romdur's Castle," six Legionnaires land on a feudal world to track down three missing United Planets explorers, only to uncover a familiar foe in disguise—Mordru, manipulating the planet's hierarchy from the shadows. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life with Steve Ditko’s distinctive art, Frank Chiaramonte’s inks, Gene D'Angelo’s colors, and Ben Oda’s lettering, this 1981 DC tale blends mystery and menace in a world where loyalty is tested and power wears a crown. The cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano captures the story’s gothic intrigue with striking precision.
