In "Castle Grimbor Must Fall!", the Legion of Super-Heroes faces a dire threat as Grimbor's Cosmic Chains tighten around Earth’s atmosphere, pushing the planet to the brink. With the help of the mysterious Reflecto—whose torn costume hints at a hidden identity—this 1981 classic from writer Roy Thomas and artist Jimmy Janes, inked by Frank Chiaramonte and colored by G. D'Angelo, delivers high-stakes action and a surprising reveal, all framed by George Pérez’s dynamic cover art.
