Micronauts #33

A tense, atmospheric entry in Marvel's 1981 Micronauts series, this issue drops Arcoyear — blinded and stranded in an uncharted jungle — into a desperate sword-raised battle against the looming, shadowy "Devil of Tropica." Bob Layton's cover captures the stakes beautifully, with Arcoyear's colorful suit contrasting sharply against the massive dark silhouette closing in around him, while a inset corner panel hints at robotic allies somewhere in the chaos. With Bill Mantlo scripting and Pat Broderick on interior art, this is the kind of survival-against-the-odds issue that made Micronauts such a compelling corner of the Marvel universe.
