Team America #7
In "The Emperor of Texas!", Cowboy and his old Texas Ranger ally dive into the heart of a bizarre dictatorship built on ancient Roman fantasy, where a megalomaniac has seized control of Texas and taken hostages—including a former love of Cowboy’s. With the help of the enigmatic Marauder, they launch a daring rescue from the opulent, oppressive stronghold of "New Rome," just as the U.S. Air Force closes in. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Luke McDonnell, with inks by Vinnie Colletta, colors by Christie Scheele, and letters by Jim Novak, this 1982 Marvel adventure blends frontier grit with sci-fi spectacle. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Ed Hannigan, Luke McDonnell, Al Milgrom, and Vinnie Colletta, captures the clash of myth and modernity in bold, sweeping detail.
