Marvel Fanfare #34

Marvel Fanfare #34 brings a distinctly storybook energy to this 1987 anthology entry, with a Charles Vess cover that feels like an illuminated manuscript come to life. Against a warm golden background, a bold red circle frames a dramatic mounted charge — a sword-wielding warrior in green leading a hard-riding band of horsemen, while a smaller vignette below captures a rotund figure strolling with a pair of dogs in a quieter, almost whimsical moment. The ornate decorative scrollwork bordering the bottom rounds out a cover that's as much a piece of illustration art as it is a comics page.
