Marvel Super Special #11

Marvel Super Special #11 brings the sword-and-sorcery world of Weirdworld to vivid life in this 1979 oversized magazine, with cover art by John Buscema and Peter Ledger that immediately signals something grand. The cover depicts a wild aerial struggle — a golden-haired warrior and a scantily clad woman riding a massive red dragon-like creature while a fearsome green winged beast attacks from above, all set against a dramatic night sky of volcanic peaks and distant palms. Promising "Tyndall's Quest" into the City of Seven Dark Delights and boasting super Marvel color, a bonus poster, and a mind-boggling three-page color foldout, this issue is a genuine showcase for fantasy storytelling in the tradition of Tolkien.
