Outlanders #31

Johji Manabe's cover for this 1991 Dark Horse release places a bold, bright-eyed blonde warrior woman front and center — clad in jeweled armor and perched atop a ringed planet against a star-filled void, an exotic weapon visible over her shoulder. It's a striking image that captures the series' blend of science-fantasy adventure with unmistakable manga energy. At 40 ad-free pages, Outlanders #31 offers a solid chunk of Manabe's distinctive storytelling for fans of the series.
