Ms. Marvel #13

Boston's historic waterfront becomes a battleground in this 1978 Marvel gem, as Ms. Marvel — red-scarfed and determined — swings a heavy timber at a golden-armored foe while a massive mechanical villain looms in the foreground amid the rigging of what the cover text confirms is Old Ironsides. The blurb promises she's facing "two of the strangest villains of all," and the cover by John Romita Jr. and Joe Sinnott delivers on that tease with a kinetic, wood-splintering clash full of energy and attitude. With Chris Claremont scripting and a creative team that includes Jim Mooney and Joe Sinnott on interior art, "Homecoming!" has all the ingredients of a thoroughly satisfying Bronze Age Marvel adventure.
