Alien Legion #6

This 1988 Epic Comics entry in the Alien Legion saga puts readers right in the thick of extraterrestrial chaos — the cover by Larry Stroman (pencils) and Frank Cirocco (inks) thrusts a green-skinned legionnaire in an orange helmet forward in desperate urgency, surrounded by a swarming mass of hostile alien creatures closing in from every direction. The sense of being vastly outnumbered is palpable, with clawed limbs, fanged creatures, and raised weapons filling every corner of the frame. With Chuck Dixon and Carl Potts steering the story "Xenos," and Larry Stroman also handling interior art, this issue delivers the gritty, far-flung military sci-fi that made Alien Legion one of Marvel's most ambitious genre titles of the era.
