The Defenders #102

Mind Games!" sets a feverish tone on this December 1981 cover, where a blue-and-yellow caped hero writhes in psychic agony — crackling energy bursting from his head — while a blonde woman recoils in alarm beside him, and a smaller figure crouches amid futuristic machinery below. Floating portraits of the Hulk, a white-haired woman, two monstrous alien faces, and a winged-helmeted hero round out the team portrait on the left, hinting at the full roster caught up in whatever mental assault is underway. Al Milgrom's cover art balances kinetic chaos with a strong sense of ensemble urgency, making this one of the more visually charged entries in the Defenders' 1981 run.
