Marvel Super Special #10

Star-Lord strides across a ruined alien landscape on this striking 1979 Marvel Super Special cover — dual blasters raised, blue-suited and battle-ready against a cosmos blazing with planets and starfields — while a golden-armored woman crouches protectively at his feet. The cover, rendered by Earl Norem and Peter Ledger, teases a sweeping cosmic saga: "Revolt of the Time-Lost," set aboard a civilization-ark one light-year long carrying two billion displaced souls. Doug Moench and Gene Colan bring the full "World in a Bottle" story inside, presented in the lush full-color format Marvel was championing at the time.
