The Thing #14

Ben Grimm takes the fight to the skies in The Thing #14 (1984), and Ron Wilson and Andy Mushynsky's cover makes the stakes immediately clear — the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing clings to a massive alien spacecraft while laser blasts streak across the void and a whole fleet of smaller craft swarms the background. Two alien figures visible on the ship suggest this space battle is anything but a solo affair, and the tagline "Sky Wars!" captures the wide-open, anything-goes energy of the "Rocky Grimm Space Ranger" saga perfectly. It's a vivid snapshot of Marvel's most durable brawler doing what he does best — right in the middle of the biggest trouble around.
