Fantastic Four #211

Against a deep space backdrop, John Byrne and Joe Sinnott's cover for this October 1979 issue sends the entire Fantastic Four — the Thing, the Human Torch, Mr. Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman — tumbling through the cosmos, battered and reeling. Below them, a mysterious armored figure rides a silver board, while the bold proclamation "Behold: Terrax the Tamer!" announces the arrival of the character the cover itself heralds as "a new superstar in the Mighty Marvel Universe." Marv Wolfman's story, brought to life with Byrne's dynamic layouts and Sinnott's polished inks, promises a cosmic-scale confrontation that puts Marvel's first family on the back foot from the very first page.
