About the series
Across two oversized issues in the mid-1980s, Marvel’s Alpha Flight Annual gave writer Bill Mantlo and artists Gerry Talaoc, June Brigman, and Larry Stroman room to stretch out with the team’s tangled family dynamics. The spotlight falls on the Beaubier twins—Jean-Paul and Jeanne-Marie, Northstar and Aurora—as well as the conflicted Heather Hudson and the stalwart Eugene “Puck” Judd, with the armored Box in the mix. These annuals deepen the soap-opera tensions and cosmic threats that defined the original series, offering a concentrated dose of the title’s distinctive blend of Canadian heroics and personal drama.
