I wonder who those funny looking people are on either side of Cos?
That's a strange cover.
I can't stand that old pirate gal but who is the cover artist?
I abstain.
A singin' and a dancin'

The pirate cover artist is, I think, Dave Cockrum
Oddly though she is not even slightly old in the story so I think it more strangely coloured than anything

#275 for me. The aliens on #262 look like Santa's elves which makes the cover look silly instead of menacing.

Shouldn't the pirate chick be yellow? I always thought this was a relative of Kono.
275

OK, ready? Time for a Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back FACE-OFF...
Sometimes a fave creator of years past returns for a story or cover or both... here are 2 such cases. Which cover wins YOUR vote??

Ditto what others have said ... both covers are actually quite stinky but if I had to choose I would pick #262 as it was a Sherman drawing (although not his best work for sure ... it looks like he whipped it together in 15 minutes or something).
Dream Girl looks horrible on this cover, which is hard to do to someone like her.
Jo looks too constipated on the cover of #275, sorry.

262. Sherman, properly inked, has always been one of my LSH Faves. I acknowledge Cockrum's contribution to the LSH, love his costume designs, and enjoy much of the work he did on the book, but that cover is just not very good. Compared to 262, it has way too much visual noise in the background, which makes it hard to focus on Ultra Boy. The lines are much cleaner on 262 and Sherman employs some great lighting effects. Plus, we get to see Cos getting all badass, which doesn't happen often enough. Also, there's something unsettling about the elfin aliens, with just the one truly alien figure in the lower left. The team looks like they're in real danger on 262, giving the cover drama and emotional weight. Those qualities are rather contrived on 275, carried by the overwrought captioning (the captions on 262 are also pretty over the top, I admit, but 275 really takes the prize here).

Moreover, Sklarians generally worked with other Sklarians; Frake's crew was of all different species - and many males (which Sklarians tended not to work with).
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Isn't Capt. Frake from the same group of pirates that sent Dynamo Boy to infiltrate the Legion?

275 for me, it's an alright cover, where 262 looks down right bad.
Long Live the Legion!

I'm going with #275
262 is just way too kitschy for its own good.

I don't think either one is very good either.
But, I'll pick #262 because it's Sherman.
