Amazing Adventures #29

Killraven — Warrior of the Worlds — takes center stage on this March 1975 Marvel Comics entry, with cover art by Gil Kane and P. Craig Russell putting the long-haired, star-emblazoned rebel in the thick of a fierce brawl atop what looks like a sleek futuristic vehicle, trading blows with a red-and-yellow armored figure while a blue-suited ally charges in from above. The cover tagline promises "fury in a far-flung future" as havoc is wrought by the Hell-Slayers, setting a vivid post-apocalyptic tone. Don McGregor and Craig Russell — handling writing, art, and color together — bring a distinctive creative vision to this series that consistently rewards readers looking for something a little grittier and more ambitious from 1970s Marvel.
