“Night of the Beast”

In "Night of the Beast," John Byrne delivers a haunting chapter of Alpha Flight as Snowbird is tormented by ancient forces for failing to contain a monstrous entity. When Alpha Flight clashes with Caliber, Snowbird suddenly turns on Sasquatch—revealing him as the legendary beast Tanaraq—before transforming to face him in a shocking, visceral confrontation. The issue’s stark, emotionally charged storytelling and John Byrne’s dynamic art, both in story and on the cover, make it a standout moment in the series’ early run.
