### DC Comics – Legion of Super-Heroes #23 (October 1991)
“The Quiet Darkness: Part III” | Written by Gordon, Giffen, & The Bierbaums
_Legion of Super-Heroes #23_ continues the gripping saga “The Quiet Darkness,” one of the most visually haunting arcs from the early 1990s Legion run. Written by Keith Giffen, Tom & Mary Bierbaum, and Al Gordon, this issue blends dark sci-fi tones with psychological storytelling, showcasing a galaxy in turmoil and heroes tested by moral ambiguity.
The striking cover — featuring a battered figure in a wasteland under surreal purple clouds — captures the story’s grim atmosphere and introspective mood. This issue bridges cosmic adventure with mature themes of loss and resilience, marking it as a memorable entry in DC’s late-80s/early-90s sci-fi era.
