Captain Marvel #36

When Marvel's self-proclaimed "most cosmic superhero of all" crosses paths with an entity of near-infinite power, the results are anything but calm — and Al Milgrom's cover captures that tension perfectly, showing a furious, enormous Watcher looming over the cosmos while Captain Marvel hurtles forward through a blaze of energy between those colossal hands. A smaller inset figure of Captain Marvel in his red-and-gold uniform anchors the upper corner, reinforcing just how outmatched our hero appears against this brooding giant. Steve Englehart and Jim Starlin's 1975 cosmic corner of the Marvel universe rarely felt bigger than it does right here.
