Baxter #17 and 5YL #28 are streets ahead of the competition in this one IMO. (Not that the other two are bad, these two are just very, very good.)

Part of me so wants to say #17 but while I love that it's a homage, #28 is a wholly original composition and much more powerful for it.

So I vote #28.

All of these covers have the striking disadvantage of featuring Sun Boy, never a favorite of mine.

Outside of that, they're all nice in their own way but #28 is the one that really stands out for me. So, it.

Something else else that's always bugged me about #296 - shouldn't it be Rokk there holding the body? Since it was his family that got killed that issue and all?

But Rokk wasn't there when the attack happened, Blacula. That was part of the build-up to "Mettle." His teammates knew the bad news before he did.

296.

315 and 17 are also good, but 296 is my fave. Great story, and a good cover that suggests the events within without spoiling them (since we have no idea who that is he's holding until we open the book).

17 is slightly spoiled for me by the strange expression / stance that Chameleon Boy is displaying. He looks like he's stamping his little foot in a fit of pique or something... smile

315 has the action, which is cool, and Supergirl, also cool.

28 has, uh, some red-headed dude with a mullet holding Sun Boy's costume. I vaguely recall some storyline in another continuity where Sun Boy turns against the Legion and eventually dies, so I guess this is someone mourning him? Devlin O'Ryan, perhaps? He had red hair, IIRC, although I don't recall if he had a mullet.

Sometimes, when you take a wrong turn(s), there's just the consequences to face and the grief.
I just wish we'd actually seen more of it.
We can go back and see where his mental health might have been undermined over the years, but the gap was too far to go, imo.

That said, I still vote for that cover, because it shows the only true and complex emotion that I ever remember seeing from the original Dirk.

Good memory cleome. I'd forgotten that. Still seems like Rokk should have had some mention on this cover though. I love me some floating heads on a cover but maybe Giffen should have swapped them for a downcast Rokk or something.

Blacula - The thing that bugas you about the cover, is the very thing that I like about it. To me, it shows that the Legion were like a family and cared for all of thrit extended families like their own.

It's also one cover/story that gave Dirk something more than being the ladies man of the team.

28. The sizzling story of Sun Boy was steak AND sizzle, the cover conveyed the darkness within perfectly.

Shadycandle, you didn't specify which cover you are voting for. Based on your statement, I would guess TMK/Pearson's cover for LSH 28.

The artwork on the interior of this comic is unbelievable. The true nightmarish quality that Pearson was able to achieve with floating smiles that were too big, masks, and the fade outs...wow/

That is Sun Boy holding his own costume.


SLSH 287(?) with Sun Boy and Dr. Regulus would've been a nice addition to this group too.

I like #296 muchly, but

#28 conveys the angst, isolation, and despair that I enjoy so.

Definitely #28! none of the others even come close. Even without including the amazing story within, it's still the winner.

Yes.
I can't see the numbers very well today, for some reason and every time I 'guess' an artist I'm wrong, so I went with content description, as best that I could.
sigh

I hate to hear your vision might be troubling you... Does your computer have the option to increase screen size? I keep mine at 150% so I don't have to wear my glasses online. It helps a LOT.
