Pick a publisher era
1982-1988
The packed-in pamphlets that defined pre-the 1984 series Arus. 49 issues across four series, with Alcala's painterly inks setting the visual register that every later continuity has been measured against.
Featured artists: Alfredo Alcala, Mark Texeira, Larry Houston, Bruce Timm, Errol McCarthy
1986-1988
Marvel's kid-skewed imprint published 13 issues plus a movie one-shot. Ron Wilson's newsstand-bright covers were the first many US readers saw of the property on a 7-Eleven spinner rack.
Featured artists: Ron Wilson, Erik Larsen, George Tuska, Vince Colletta
1986-1990
88 weekly issues plus six annuals. Tafalla's photo-realist painted covers are the most-collected Voltron art outside the Alcala minis; every UK reader in the late 80s grew up on these.
Featured artists: Jose Maria Ortiz Tafalla, Geoff Senior, John Higgins, Bryan Hitch
2002-2004
The MYP 200X reboot got a 7-issue Image series, an 8-issue Icons of Evil one-shot run, and a 24-page Free Comic Book Day issue. Tony Daniel's Icons of Evil covers are the era's grail.
Featured artists: Emiliano Santalucia, Tony Daniel, Pop Mhan, Val Staples
2012-2016
Six interconnected DC series, capped by The Eternity War (15 issues, 2014-15). Philip Tan's digital-painted covers reset the visual brand for a generation; later writers folded the run into DC's wider multiverse.
Featured artists: Philip Tan, Pop Mhan, Dexter Soy, Frazer Irving
2023-current
The current ongoing. Dark Horse picked up the Voltron licence in 2023, kicking off with Forge of Destiny, then Masterverse, Revelation, Revolution, the Turtles of the Castle of Lions TMNT crossover, and a new Voltron ongoing. Heavy variant-cover programs each issue.
Featured artists: Dave Wilkins, Tyler Boss, Walter Simonson, Stjepan Sejic
