Micronauts #25

Pat Broderick's cover for this January 1981 issue promises a wild collision of science-fantasy mayhem, with armored figures, a green reptilian creature, and a blonde warrior crowding the foreground while a massive green mechanoid looms overhead against a moonlit, bat-flecked sky. A purple spacecraft tumbles through the starfield above, and the cover's bold tagline calls out Mentallo, the Fixer, and the ominously named "Deathbirth!" as the threats at hand. Bill Mantlo's run on Micronauts was consistently inventive, and this issue looks like a fine example of the book firing on all cylinders.
