Captain Marvel #7

From 1968, this issue of Marvel's Kree warrior series promises a showdown hinted at right on the cover — "The Coming of Quasimodo!" John Romita's cover depicts Captain Marvel in his green-and-white uniform firing a energy blast point-blank into a massive, looming dark figure whose enormous hands frame the composition from below and right, all set against a backdrop of gleaming alien machinery. Arnold Drake's script and Don Heck's interior art bring the tension that Romita so effectively sets up here, making this a satisfying slice of late-'60s Marvel adventure.
