If I were going to focus only on Chem, I'd vote for the Secret Origins cover. But since I prefer to focus on the overall artistic merits, that cover is disqualified because--what the heck is Karate Kid doing?!
No, the vote goes to # 211 because the composition is better. (# 59 almost gets my vote because it is moody and more original. But the shock value of a Legionnaire executing a villain just works for me.)

An unambiguous win for #59. I can't help it. I'm a fool for the shadows, Maaaaaannnn!!
Plus, Jacques has never gotten enough love, in my book.

#211 certainly brings back some good memories, as I thought it was the best ever use of Condo. But the cover, while good, is a bit squashed by the logo.
#228 and the Secret Origins cover are too squashed and/or busy.
#59 is also busy, but manages to overcome that and be cool and moody. So #59 for me.

I assume it's supposed to be some kind of Karate pose, but it's pretty goofy.

He looks a little like Moe doing a Stooges double take.

Yes, it looks like he's cringing at the sight of Ferro Lad's outstretched fists. Not the way I'd want to rememeber Val.

I assume it's supposed to be some kind of Karate pose, but it's pretty goofy.[/b] Well, to be fair, Ferro Lad's arms do look massively out of proportion. It *is* kind of scary.

MLLASH, I just saw your new avatar and let me tell ya it nearly scared the poop out of me! P.S. The cover of Superboy and the LSH #211 has always been one of my all-time favourites. The cover of #228 though, not so much ... must have something to do with the way-too-early demise of such a unique and under-utilized Legionnaire Well, maybe all the rumours will be true and Chem is alive somehow afterall.

Who are the ghosts/statues behind Mentalla? Weight Wizard maybe? Can't see the other one.

I would think one would be Reflecto and the other Triplicate Girl. But I can't really make them out.
That's Beast Boy up front, right? It's odd that he would have such a prominent position.
And is that Proty I on the far left?

Yes, that's Proty on the left. It looks like the one behind Mentalla has a square open neck collar, which I think Weigh Wizard did. I'd be surprised if Reflecto was included since he didn't really exist let alone die.
