Micronauts #57

Subtitled "They Come From Inner Space," Micronauts #57 kicks off 1984 with a 48-page special and a cover by Butch Guice that makes every page feel earned. The team — a green-armored figure, a bold blonde in red-and-yellow, a blue-helmeted gunslinger, and a muscular bare-chested warrior — confronts an imposing, robed shaman-like giant who looms over them clutching a staff, his fanged visage promising serious trouble in "The World of Never-Summer!" It's an oversized issue with a premise that sounds as wild as it looks, brought to life inside by writer Bill Mantlo and artist Butch Guice.
