The Invaders #30

Marvel's WWII super-team delivers a sky-high spectacle in this 1978 installment, as Captain America, the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch, and two other Invaders hurl themselves against a swarm of enemy aircraft amid fire, explosions, and screaming wreckage. The cover — penciled by Alan Kupperberg and inked by Joe Sinnott — crackles with wartime energy, capturing the team in full combat stride as burning planes spiral around cliffs and chaos fills every corner of the image. "Five Against the Flying Death!" promises exactly the kind of outnumbered, no-retreat action that made The Invaders one of Marvel's most entertaining period titles.
