The Legion of Super-Heroes #311

May 1984 · DC · 0.75 USD; 0.95 CAD; 0.30 GBP
“Destruction by Design”

In "Destruction by Design," Brainiac 5’s attempt to free Danielle Foccart from Computo’s influence accidentally obliterates the Legion Clubhouse—only to rebuild it with eerie precision, now under his control. Keith Giffen and Paul Levitz deliver a tense, character-driven tale where the line between salvation and manipulation blurs, all rendered with Giffen’s sharp art and Mahlstedt’s dynamic inks. The cover by Giffen and Mahlstedt captures the moment of transformation, a stark visual echo of the issue’s central theme.
