☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Battle of Four Armies!", the arrival of Galactus' home ship sends shockwaves through the battleground as every faction scrambles to survive. With Torch linking with the Zsaji, the Wrecking Crew targeting Molecule Man and Volcana, and the Enchantress attempting to sway Doom, tensions explode—especially when Mr. Fantastic and Magneto both try to appeal to Galactus and face swift retribution. Amid the chaos, the X-Men arrive to turn the tide, but not before Colossus is gravely injured and reaches out to the healer Zsaji. Meanwhile, Dr. Doom slips aboard Galactus' ship, beginning his own dangerous mission. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Bob Layton, with inks by John Beatty, colors by Christie Scheele, and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1985 UK release captures the escalating stakes in a 0.27 GBP comic.
In a playful nod to the inner workings of the Marvel UK bullpen, "null" presents a surreal behind-the-scenes glimpse of an unknown artist’s late-night doodles. The story takes a whimsical turn on the second page with Dr. Doom reimagined as the Tin Man from *The Wizard of Oz*, blending superhero satire with classic fairy tale absurdity. The final page reveals reader-submitted sketches of the mysterious Secret Artist, turning the page into a collaborative comic anomaly.
In "The Battle of Four Armies!" from Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8 (1985), the arrival of Galactus' home ship sends shockwaves through the battleground, forcing every faction—heroes, villains, and rogue forces alike—to scramble for advantage. With Torch linking with the enigmatic Zsaji, the Wrecking Crew targeting Molecule Man and Volcana, and the Enchantress attempting to sway Doom, tensions explode as even Mr. Fantastic and Magneto are swiftly punished for their bold moves. Amid the chaos, the X-Men charge in to turn the tide, leaving Colossus gravely wounded—and just as the healer Zsaji reaches him—Doom slips aboard Galactus' ship, probing its secrets in silence.
In "Yesterday Man," Jo finds herself caught in a fortress that feels more like a living thing than a machine, as Alpha Flight launches a desperate rescue mission. The Master of the World reveals his past to Marrina, and just as the team struggles to adapt, Invisible Woman and Namor arrive to turn the tide.
