I pick the first one - #267. The layout is a bit stronger, with the members facing more forward. They all look great. The colors blend well. The detail work of the inside of the ship is realistic. The cover tells a story of suspense. Will Element Lad be saved?

#263 is dynamic (and features Tyroc) but I think #267 is a much more creative and interesting cover (and features Colossal Boy obviously). It almost looks like it could be a still from a sci-fi horror film.
And I love that they used that blow-up doll auto-pilot from the movie Airplane (Flying High outside the US) to play Chuck on it!

#267 is my favorite. Lu's pose is classic Giordano. Nice crotch shot of my favorite Legionnaire, Element Lad! The whole cover layout seems to be an homage to the EC weird sci-fi covers of the 1950s. The yellow highlights on the side of Gim's & Chuck's faces are very Wally Wood. Finally, I love all the detail on the interior wall of the spaceship.

It's the interior spaceship detail that sells me on LSH 267. (Plus LU!!) Although I'm also a fan of 263, Tyroc's legs and The LSH of the 2940s. Shady's lack of cape hurts it a tiny bit for me, though the rest of her costume looks uh-MAZING.

Did Dagon's pink power distintigrate Tasmia's cape?

Oh, that was from Dagon? I was afraid Tasmia was having burrito-related difficulties in that scene...
I'd have to go with 263, although the other one deserves high kudos for putting CB on the cover without having him be all ginormous. That's usually his 'thing,' to be all huge and hulking behind everyone else, for no darn reason.
Are those supposed to be Legion parents in Dagon's Petting Zoo of Space? Cause I see a Durlan who could be Chameleon Mom, and a blue-skinned lady who could be Shadow Mom, but the remaining three are looking a bit, um, pasty, to be Tyroc Dad or Tyroc Mom...

Ah, I was expecting them to be parents of the people on the cover, which, obviously, wouldn't have worked unless Drake had three parents, and Tyroc none!

Right. And if I could vote for it again I would. Looking at the two again, it's the much stronger cover I think.
