“Bestiary!”

In "Bestiary!", Rom, Starshine, and the Soviet Super Soldiers unite to push back a relentless wave of Dire Wraiths from a captured Russian military base. As the battle ends, the Super Soldiers claim the installation as their new command center and extend an unexpected invitation to Gremlin. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema, inks by Akin and Garvey, and vibrant colors by Ben Sean, this 1983 Marvel classic features a striking cover by Bill Sienkiewicz.
