Guardians of the Galaxy by Jim Valentino #1

This collection reprints the first six issues of Jim Valentino's 1990 Guardians of the Galaxy series, which introduced a far-future team of cosmic heroes including Vance Astro, Yondu, Martinex, Starhawk, and Charlie-27. The story arc pits the Guardians against the villainous Korvac and his forces, while also weaving in connections to the larger Marvel Universe through characters like Galactus and the Avengers. Valentino's run is noted for its energetic, Silver Age-inspired storytelling and for expanding the original 31st-century team's mythology.
