Micronauts #2

The cover of this February 1979 Marvel series declares it boldly: "From a war-torn Microverse they fled — to: Earth!" and Michael Golden's cover art (inked by Joe Rubinstein) delivers on that promise with a dynamic, colorful clash of the Micronauts team — including a blonde female warrior, an insectoid red-armored figure, a green alien, and several armored companions — all surging across what appears to be Earth's oversized landscape, dwarfed by a looming silhouetted figure above them. The tagline "They Came from Inner Space" perfectly sets the scale and wonder of this tiny team navigating a world that must feel impossibly enormous. Written by Bill Mantlo with interior art by Michael Golden, this second issue hits the ground running with a premise as imaginative as any Marvel was offering in 1979.
