The Eternals Annual #1

Marvel's 1977 King-Size Annual for The Eternals packs a double-length story into one oversized package, with Jack Kirby writing and drawing and Frank Giacoia inking the cover. The cover itself lays out the odds starkly: Thena, Karkas, and the Reject — a blonde warrior woman, a massive red-skinned bruiser, and a white-costumed fighter wielding a long weapon — are completely surrounded by a mob of weapon-brandishing assassins drawn from across history, from a top-hatted swordsman to armored warriors. "Three Against the Time-Killers!" says it all — this is a gloriously outnumbered brawl brimming with the cosmic scope and raw invention that defined Kirby's Eternals run.
