Spitfire and The Troubleshooters #1 (1986)

Part of Marvel’s short-lived New Universe imprint, this debut introduces Professor Jenny Swensen, who pilots the high-tech Spitfire armor alongside a team of tech-savvy college students known as the Troubleshooters. A mix of mechs, sci-fi, and grounded realism, this issue lays the foundation for one of the more unique titles from Marvel’s experimental 1980s lineup.
