Outlanders #24

Johji Manabe's cover for Outlanders #24 centers on a striking horned young woman in ornate armor and thigh-high boots, clutching what appears to be a small creature near her shoulder as she gazes outward with a wary expression. Dark Horse's manga adaptation was a standout offering in 1990, delivering a full 40 ad-free pages of Manabe's distinctive science-fantasy artwork. Fans of the series will find this late-run issue a satisfying continuation of the blend of action and otherworldly character design that defines the title.
