Dreadstar #23

From Epic Comics' Dreadstar #23 (February 1986), this cover by Jim Starlin drops Dreadstar — in his familiar blue-and-yellow suit — right into a desperate mid-air struggle against a massive, tentacled creature above a frigid mountain range. The beast's limbs are wrapped around him even as he fights back, and the burnt-orange sky gives the whole confrontation an eerie, otherworldly weight. With "Hunters!" as the story title, this issue promises exactly the kind of relentless, sci-fi action that made Starlin's series a standout on the Epic Comics line.
