Micronauts #28

The cover of Micronauts #28 (April 1981) pulls no punches, promising that Rann is doomed, Baron Karza defeated, and the planet Spartak destroyed — bold stakes spelled out right on the cover as two armored figures collide in a fierce, fiery clash at center stage, with a heroic female figure and explosive chaos visible in the background. Pat Broderick's pencils, inked by Marie Severin, deliver a kinetic composition that practically crackles with energy across every inch of the page. With a story titled "Last Stand in Fantasy-World!" and this much dramatic weight packed into a single image, this is exactly the kind of issue the "BE THERE!" tag earns.
