“Risk”

From Marvel's self-proclaimed "World's Greatest Comic Magazine" comes this 1986 installment, penciled and inked on the cover by John Byrne, where a cloaked figure in purple and green clashes mid-air with a brown-haired man in a desperate, energy-flaring struggle — while She-Hulk reels in the foreground, a wide-eyed blonde looks on in alarm, and a flaming red-masked face blazes ominously at the edge of the chaos. The title "Risk" promises that everything is on the line for the FF, and this cover — all churning orange atmosphere and urgent, kinetic energy — makes the stakes feel every bit as high as advertised.
