X-O MANOWAR VOL. 1 ISSUE 1 PAGE 13 SPIDER ALIENS GO BOOM

Aric has escaped the captivity of the spider aliens by stealing one of the sacred X-O Manowar armors. He falls to earth and decides to ditch the aromor. So obviously he's walking around naked??!! He decides to take one of their weapons and blow some stuff up.

X-O Manowar was only the second original title to come out from Valiant (Harbinger had been released a month earlier).

In looking for a first appearance of the Aric/X-O your obvious first choice would be a page with the armor in it. Those pages are mostly in black hole collections and would be quite pricey to pry them loose. So next best thing? Spider Aliens getting blown sky high in an almost half page splash!

Thanks to Nick Barruci for letting this one go.
