Psychonauts #1

From Marvel's 1993 lineup comes this oversized prestige-format opener, Psychonauts #1, written by Alan Grant and Tony Luke with art throughout by Motofumi Kobayashi. The cover art — penciled and inked by Kobayashi himself — sets a distinctive visual tone for whatever strange mental or espionage territory this series intends to explore. At $4.95, it was clearly positioned as a premium read, and the creative pairing of Grant's sharp scripting sensibilities with Kobayashi's detailed linework makes this a compelling curiosity from Marvel's more experimental early-'90s output.
