“The Battle Beyond!”

In "The Battle Beyond!", Thor faces a cosmic storm as New York braces for Galactus’s arrival, but the true danger may lie not in the sky—but in the mind of Ego himself. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, Mike Esposito, and Dave Hunt, this 1974 Marvel classic blends mythic dread with the tension of an impending apocalypse. The cover by John Romita and Frank Giacoia captures the moment’s escalating stakes with striking precision.
