Micronauts #6

The Micronauts hit its stride early, and issue #6 from June 1979 shows exactly why this series captivated readers. Michael Golden and Joe Rubinstein's cover crackles with kinetic energy — a golden-haired warrior in red-and-yellow launches into battle while a terrified man reacts in horror at the wheel of what appears to be a Florida State Highway vehicle, all while robotic figures clash amid a blaze of searchlights in the background. With Bill Mantlo scripting and Golden's sharp linework carrying the interior, "The Great Escapes" promises the kind of big-scale, imaginative adventure that made the Microverse feel genuinely vast.
