Alpha Flight #46

In "Friends...And Lovers," Alpha Flight faces a personal crisis when Scramble’s failed transformation leaves Walter Langkowski permanently in Snowbird’s form, upending relationships and identities. Tensions flare as Aurora rejects both Roger and Walter, pushing Roger to don the Box armor in a rage—forcing the team to confront one of their own. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by June Brigman, with inks by Whilce Portacio and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1987 issue explores emotional fallout and fractured loyalties, all capped by a cover by June Brigman and Terry Austin.
