Marvel's Space-Born Superhero! Captain Marvel #6

From October 1968, this issue of Marvel's cosmic hero pits Captain Marvel against an overwhelming threat — the cover by Don Heck and John Tartaglione shows the green-and-white uniformed hero delivering a crackling energy punch against the massive, rocky form of Solam, a towering creature of stone and brute power that dwarfs him completely. The sheer size contrast and explosive impact burst make for a gripping image, with debris and energy flaring across a stormy blue backdrop. Arnold Drake's story promises exactly the kind of larger-than-life encounter the title "In the Path of Solam!" suggests.
