Hercules #1

Marvel takes the Lion of Olympus to the stars in this 1982 limited series opener, with Bob Layton's cover delivering an immediate statement of intent: a massive, muscle-bound Hercules dominates the foreground, golden gauntlets raised, as enemy spacecraft fire energy beams and defeated armored warriors are strewn at his feet. A lone soldier scrambles away in the background, the rocky alien terrain and star-filled cosmos making it gloriously clear that the Prince of Power has traded ancient Greece for a far grander stage.
