Created by writer-artist-editor Carl Potts, Alien Legion is the continuing story of Nomad Squadron, a unit in the TOPHAN Galactica Union’s multi-species military. It is essentially modeled after the French Foreign Legion, but instead of humans with different nationalities it is populated with a wide array of species – mostly, but not exclusively humanoids – who come with an equally wide array of financial, social, political, and criminal backgrounds from the Union’s member planets.

A mysterious visitor to the king’s court conjures up some of the critical scenes of Conan’s life.

As the story starts, it’s been a long time, they’re still waiting, and the place is starting to fall apart.  

Marv Wolfman and George Pérez kicked off the second year of their New Teen Titans series with one of the best issues of their entire run. One issue after a 10¢ cover price increase that came with the addition of more story pages, the duo took full advantage of the extra space and packed extra adventure, suspense, and danger into the issue.

It was retroactively billed at Marvel Graphic Novel #1, though that was not included in the indicia. That name was, though, included on the upper left-hand side of the front cover above the price, $5.95, which seemed a bit steep before readers got a chance to dive into its pages.
