Alien Legion #3

The cover by Larry Stroman and Frank Cirocco puts the Legion's diverse squad front and center — a green-skinned soldier charging forward with a heavy rifle, a brooding blue-horned alien looming in the foreground, and teammates pushing through a firestorm of energy blasts and chaos behind them. It's a vivid snapshot of the ragtag, interspecies fighting force that made Alien Legion one of Epic Comics' most compelling sci-fi titles of the late 1980s. With "Call to Battle" as the story and a creative team including Chuck Dixon, Carl Potts, and Larry Stroman on interior art, this 1988 issue delivers exactly the gritty, galactic military action the series was built on.
