Captain Marvel #62

The cover of issue #62 sets the stage beautifully — Captain Marvel trades explosive energy blasts with the armored villain Stellarax high above Washington, D.C., the Washington Monument and surrounding landmarks visible far below as collateral reminders of the stakes. Pat Broderick and Bruce Patterson's cover crackles with kinetic energy, both combatants unleashing powerful bursts at close range while the nation's capital stretches out beneath them. "Earth Skirmish" promises exactly the kind of high-altitude, high-intensity confrontation that made this late-1970s run so compelling.
