The Empire Strikes Back Weekly #121

"Chapter IV: Doom's Shadow" delivers a thrilling slice of sci-fi spectacle in The Empire Strikes Back Weekly #121, where a daring experiment opens a portal to the dimension Electra—only to unleash a wave of alien conquerors. When the carved faces of Mount Rushmore suddenly animate, they stand as an unexpected bulwark against the invasion, their stone forms moving with surprising purpose. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Don Heck and lettering by Joe Rosen, this issue blends cosmic dread with a uniquely American twist, all rendered with the bold energy of 1980s Marvel UK. The cover, a striking collaboration by Al Williamson and Carlos Garzón, captures the moment of crisis with dramatic flair.
