Total sentimental pick: I LOVE this movie and so much wanted this two-part adaptation. Didn’t get the issues until adulthood. Neverthless, while the image is a little static, it does capture that movie poster feel. Points for including scene-stealing Kali, and Caroline Munro’s Margiana. — 8. Savage Tales #4, Marvel.
