In one of comics’ greatest epics, Baron Zemo strikes at the very heart of the Avengers as he leads a revamped and larger-than-ever Masters of Evil in an attack on the team’s home — and wins! As Earth’s Mightiest Heroes suffer devastating blows, Avengers Mansion becomes the site of one of the greatest battles the Marvel Universe has ever witnessed! Can Captain America rally the troops and salvage victory from their most painful defeat? Plus: Namor joins the fold just in time for the Avengers to be embroiled in an Atlantean civil war alongside Alpha Flight! Guest-starring Ant-Man (Scott Lang), Doctor Druid and Paladin, it’s a classic Avengers era from the legendary creative team of Roger Stern and John Buscema!
COLLECTING: Avengers (1963) #270-277
Roger Stern enjoyed well-regarded runs on Amazing Spider-Man, in which he introduced Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) and the Hobgoblin; Avengers; and Captain America. He launched West Coast Avengers and wrote numerous tie-in miniseries starring Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. At DC, he relaunched Atom and co-created Starman (Will Payton) before participating in one of comics’ most shocking events: the 1992 “Death of Superman.” He later returned to Marvel to write Amazing Spider-Man and related titles.
John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist — namely, How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way — and few were better qualified. His career dated back to the Timely/Atlas era of the late ’40s and early ’50s. Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run on Avengers with the long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title — including his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
