Marvel Preview #23

Marvel Preview #23 brings "Bizarre Adventures 2" to life with a striking Clyde Caldwell cover that sets a vivid tone — a luminous, sparkling woman floats ethereally against a deep space backdrop of stars and a looming planetary body, while a rugged, axe-wielding barbarian reaches toward her from the rocky ground below. Inside, John Buscema and Lynn Graeme's "Shandra" is just one of the anthology's offerings, joined by an impressive lineup including Frank Miller, Gene Colan, Denny O'Neil, Roger Stern, and more. For fans of sword-and-sorcery fantasy and sci-fi anthology comics, this 1980 magazine-format issue packs a genuinely exciting array of talent into one package.
