The Legion of Super-Heroes #296

In "What Do You Do on the Day after Doomsday?", the Legion of Super-Heroes grapples with the quiet aftermath of surviving a cosmic war, as Karate Kid faces a personal milestone with Projectra and Chameleon Boy confronts a shocking loss of his abilities. Meanwhile, in a chilling twist, a nuclear explosion tears through the neighborhood where Cosmic Boy’s family once lived—leaving the future of the Legion’s home planet hanging in the balance. Written by Keith Giffen and Paul Levitz, with art by Giffen and inks by Larry Mahlstedt, this 1983 issue captures the emotional weight of heroism beyond the battle, all framed by a cover by Giffen and Mahlstedt.
