Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1

Apr 1985 · Marvel UK · 0.27 GBP
“Marvel's Secret Artist”

"Marvel's Secret Artist" kicks off Marvel UK’s Secret Wars #1 with a bold, high-stakes premise: heroes and villains alike are plucked from their worlds and dropped onto the surreal, fractured planet of Battleworld. Written by Jim Shooter and brought to life with dynamic art by Mike Zeck—inked by John Beatty and colored by Christie Scheele—this first issue sets the stage for a clash of wills, where the Beyonder’s twisted game begins with a single, ominous command. The cover, also by Zeck and Beatty, captures the moment the fate of Earth’s mightiest is sealed.

Heroes and villains each find themselves in spaceships. They witness the creation of Battleworld. The Beyonder tells them that their goal is to defeat their enemies and their wildest dreams will come true. Galactus and Doom fly off to confront the Beyonder but are repulsed. The heroes are transported to the planet and turn on Magneto. The villains are also moved to Battleworld and Doom tries to reason with them concerning the Beyonder's wishes. When no one is willing to listen, he flies off to talk to Reed but is shot down by Kang. The heroes reach Doom but get blasted.
