Marvel Age #2

Marvel Age #2 from 1983 spotlights an exciting preview of John Byrne's Alpha Flight, with Byrne himself delivering the cover art — a vivid yellow-background assembly of Canada's premier super-team. Soaring overhead are two winged and flight-capable members, while the massive furry bulk of Sasquatch anchors the center, flanked by teammates in green, white, and black-and-white costumes, with a smaller figure crouching at the water's edge in the foreground. For readers curious about what Byrne was cooking up for Marvel's Canadian heroes in 1983, this 25-cent preview issue made for an irresistible early look.
