“Murder-1!”

Marionette sits center-stage on this unsettling September 1983 cover, strapped to a chair with a menacing helmet clamped over her blonde hair, her expression caught somewhere between defiance and alarm — while defeated or imprisoned figures slump in the shadowy cell around her. The tagline "Get Ready for the Biggest Shock of Your Life!" sets the tone for the story inside, titled "Murder-1!" Butch Guice's cover art brings a gritty, grounded tension to the Microverse that fans of Bill Mantlo's run will find hard to resist.
