“Beware the Blood Brothers!” — the first appearance of Thanos, Marvel’s Mad Titan, and the beginning of Jim Starlin’s cosmic saga that would shape the Marvel Universe for decades. Also features the first appearances of Drax the Destroyer, Mentor, and Starfox (flashback).
When Drax telepathically calls out from captivity, Tony Stark answers — but Iron Man finds himself ambushed by the Blood Brothers before he can reach Thanos’s fortress. Starlin’s art and storytelling explode right from the start, making this one of the most important Bronze Age Marvel keys.
