Eternals #4

Issue four of this twelve-part 1986 limited series plunges right into the thick of things, with a blue-and-red-costumed Eternal locked in fierce hand-to-hand combat against a massive, rocky green creature that dominates the cover. A second red-clad figure battles below while an aircraft streaks through the background amid a burst of crackling pink energy — Keith Pollard's linework packing every inch of the composition with kinetic tension. "Masked Gods!" promises mythology-scale conflict, and this cover delivers exactly that mood.
