Silver Surfer #46

Adam Warlock dominates this February 1991 cover, rendered by Ron Lim in commanding fashion — golden-skinned and red-caped, he stands at the forefront clutching his skull-topped staff while the Silver Surfer, a green-skinned woman, a purple-cloaked figure, and a small mysterious figure look on from behind him. The cover bluntly announces "Featuring the Return of Adam Warlock," making clear this issue marks a significant moment for Jim Starlin's cosmic corner of the Marvel universe. With "...The Soul World!" as the story title, the stage is set for something genuinely cosmic and strange.
