The Omega Men #33

Two figures in cold-weather gear press forward through a frozen, storm-battered landscape while an enormous, icy alien visage looms behind them — a striking image from cover artist Shawn McManus that immediately sets a tone of peril and wonder. This December 1985 issue promises "More Story! No Ads!" and features not one but two tales: "Storm Warnings" by Todd Klein and Shawn McManus, following the Spider Wars survivors to a new home, plus a Vega backup story credited to Steve Parkhouse and Dave Gibbons. It's a notably generous package for $1.50, with McManus's painted cover doing real work to sell the cold, alien dread waiting inside.
