“And the Servant Shall Be a Sign...”

Promising nothing less than "the most mind-staggering multi-issue epic ever," Legion of Super-Heroes #290 opens an ambitious 1982 DC saga with a cover that commands immediate attention. Keith Giffen and Frank Giacoia's artwork dominates with a towering, cosmos-bodied villain clutching a white-haired Legionnaire and a Superman-suited figure in his massive hands, tiny and helpless against his scale, while more captive heroes are visible at his feet. The title "And the Servant Shall Be a Sign…" adds an ominous, almost biblical weight to this striking image of overwhelming power.
