Infinity, Inc. #9

Set against the vast sweep of Earth seen from orbit, this December 1984 issue of Infinity, Inc. delivers a charged confrontation in deep space. A red-and-green costumed hero reels from a burst of crackling green energy unleashed by a green-skinned woman in white, while a dark, winged figure and a satellite loom in the background. The cover, penciled by Mike Machlan and inked by Jerry Ordway, captures that penultimate tension perfectly — the "Generations" saga is clearly hurtling toward its finish line.
