Power Pack #11

Three of the Power Pack kids surge forward in a moment of urgent, wide-eyed tension, while a luminous white equine figure — the alien Smartship Friday — rears dramatically behind them, and shadowy, glowing-eyed creatures loom from the darkness all around. June Brigman and Bob Wiacek's cover captures the team's youth and vulnerability beautifully, surrounding these young heroes with a sense of genuine menace that makes the threat feel real rather than cartoonish. With Louise Simonson's "Problems" as the story's title, this 1985 Marvel issue promises exactly the kind of emotionally grounded superhero adventure the series does so well.
