Guardians of the Galaxy Annual #1

Part 4 of "The Korvac Quest" culminates in this 64-page 1991 annual, and the cover by Jim Valentino and Steve Montano makes the stakes unmistakably clear: a blazing, energy-wreathed figure dominates the composition with fists raised in raw power, while the Guardians of the Galaxy are scattered around him — some flying, some staggering, one figure driven to the ground at his feet. The "End Game" badge in the corner promises this crossover chapter carries real weight, and with Valentino both writing and drawing the series, the 31st-century team gets a consistent, passionate creative voice throughout all 64 pages. Fans of cosmic Marvel in 1991 will find plenty to dig into here.
