In "Old Friends, New Relatives and Other Corpses!", the Legion of Super-Heroes faces a dual threat as Dr. Regulus assaults Sun Boy and the team on Brande's planetoid, while Chameleon Boy, grappling with the revelation of his father's identity, makes a sudden decision to lead Timber Wolf and Shrinking Violet on a dangerous mission to the Khunds' homeworld. Written by Paul Levitz and illustrated with dynamic flair by Pat Broderick, with inks by Bruce Patterson and colors by Gene D'Angelo, this 1982 DC classic blends high-stakes action with personal drama. The cover, penciled by Broderick and inked by Romeo Tanghal, captures the tension with striking detail.
