I like #33, especially the upward lighting, but #72 does it for me. To me sorry and despair are quiet feeling that pull a person within where they are hard to reach, and LSH #72 reflects that. The rending of garments like in #274 strikes me as contrived and disingenuous.

Legion of Superheroes #33 looks the best to me.

The 3rd one easily has the best artwork, but it's funny. I don't even remember it. Who are the other 2 statues? I"m thinking one is Laurel. Is the other Apparition?

Agreed! I can't get past it in that form, though. So, I vote for #72

Hmm. The arrow-caption never bothered me til you guys pointed it out. Now it does.
But I still LOVE that cover. The sunset, the falling leaves, the up-lighting... I swear I can feel a It's-FINALLY-getting-cooler November breeze on my face when I look at it.

#274 for me,Buckler does a great job on the grieving Legionnaires,the other 2 covers are kind of boring to me.
I did buy all of these issues when they came out,the latter two I just had no emotional attachment to,I guess I look at it like Jo vs. James,and even though James get two tries,Jo gets my vote.
