Micronauts #30

The tagline says it all — "Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Microverse…" — and Pat Broderick's cover for issue #30 delivers on that promise with a massive, fanged alien creature dominating the frame while tiny Micronauts figures scramble in every direction around a boxy vehicle or vessel. The sense of scale is genuinely thrilling, with capes flaring and figures locked in desperate motion against the monstrous beast's gaping maw. Bill Mantlo and Broderick bring "Home Sweet Homeworld!" to Marvel's sub-atomic adventurers in this 1981 installment of one of the era's most imaginative science-fantasy series.
