Sectaurs #4

Stellara takes center stage on this 1986 Marvel entry in the Sectaurs: Warriors of Symbion series, rendered in confident linework by cover artist Steve Geiger — her insectoid orange armor gleaming as she lunges forward, crossbow-like weapon at the ready. The tagline "Her friends — or her life!" sets up a genuine dilemma, while a battle rages in the background between armored warriors on the alien landscape of Symbion. It's a strong, character-focused cover that captures the pulpy sci-fantasy appeal of Bill Mantlo's world-building at its most dramatic.
