The Legion of Super-Heroes Archives #4

May 1994 · DC · 39.95 USD; 51.95 CAD
“[Part I]: The Bizarro-Legion!”

In "The Bizarro-Legion!" — a standout entry from The Legion of Super-Heroes Archives #4 (1994), written by Edmond Hamilton and illustrated by John Forte with inks by George Klein — the Legion journeys into the distant past to uncover the origins of an ancient artifact tied to a forgotten war between Earth and Krypton. As two groups split their mission, one uncovers alien colonists in ancient Atlantis, while the other follows a band of Kryptonians fleeing a rigidly anti-scientific society toward Earth. Adam Hughes' striking cover captures the era's bold energy, and the story's richly layered premise sets up a fascinating alternate history, all rendered with the crisp detail and nostalgic flair of a 1994 DC classic.
