This issue is split into two stories. In the lead one writer Paul Levitz focuses on activities off Earth; first a theft from a medi-center that could have bad consequences for the Legion, then the pursuit and capture of the theif. But were they in time? The art for this is by Steve Lightle, a Legion veteran whose work is not seen often these days, and he does a nice job here.
The second story takes place on Earth, where the three founding members: Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy are out for some recreation on “Founders’ Night.” Paul has some fun with this, and gives Brainiac 5 the spoiler role as he must recruit Lightning Lad for a Legion task in the middle of things. This story is by series regular Yildray Cinar with Dan Green inking.
Here’s a page by Lightle. Steve still has it in my book.

I’m glad you liked the issue, Todd. It was certainly fun drawing the Legion again. This little story also led to my becoming the series’ regular cover artist. I believe that Yildiray is currently the penciler on “Firestorm.” The Legion of Super-Heroes” has had Francis Portela as its artist since issue #1 of the current series. Yildiray Cinar and I were filling in for Francis for an issue. Once again, I really appreciate the “thumbs up” review.
