“Up from the Sky!”

Riders on the Storm!" promises high-stakes chaos in this June 1979 entry from Marvel's team of non-team, and Herb Trimpe and Al Milgrom's cover delivers exactly that mood — the Hulk strains against coiling tentacles while a massive, fang-filled sea creature lunges from below, and a golden winged figure on horseback charges through the storm-lashed darkness alongside a robed mystic. The corner box reminds you that the Hulk was Marvel's reigning TV sensation at the time, making this a snapshot of a moment when the Green Goliath was everywhere.
