Avengers Spotlight #22

This September 1989 issue of Avengers Spotlight delivers a genuine two-for-one with "The Saga of the Swordsman" and "Grimm and Bear It" packed into a single issue. Ron Frenz and Mike Machlan's cover sets the energetic tone perfectly — a sword-swinging Swordsman leaps into action above a wide-eyed Hawkeye clutching his bow, the archer's exasperated "Sheesh!!" capturing the dynamic between Marvel's most daringly different swashbuckler and his purple-clad counterpart. It's a lively, action-packed package that puts two fan-favorite characters front and center in grand Marvel fashion.
