The Thing #36

The cover of this June 1986 Marvel issue — arriving as part of the publisher's 25th Anniversary celebrations — puts the Thing's massive, rocky fists front and center while She-Hulk and the New Ms. Marvel square off in a mid-air clash above him, fists raised and ready. It's a striking three-way composition with cover pencils by Paul Neary and inks by John Byrne that makes terrific use of perspective, pulling readers right into the action. With "Going for Broke" as the story title and that memorable tagline promising She-Hulk vs. the New Ms. Marvel, this one has plenty of mid-'80s Marvel energy to offer.
