Alpha Flight #41

In "It's Not Easy Being Purple," newly minted Alpha Flight member Jeffries steps into the team's orbit as Northstar takes a break from duty to hit the slopes—only to run into Kara Killgrave, the daughter of the infamous Purple Man, who’s inherited her father’s hypnotic powers. When she briefly takes control of Northstar, he’s forced to bring her to Alpha Flight for help, setting off a tense and unexpected chapter in the team’s mission. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by David Ross, with inks by Whilce Portacio and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1986 issue features a cover by David Ross that captures the moment of confrontation.
