☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis digest-sized collection reprints a classic Avengers saga from the 1970s, focusing on the team's investigation into the mysterious origins of the High Evolutionary and his hidden citadel on Mount Wundagore. The story delves into the connections between the Evolutionary, the villainous Man-Beast, and the tragic history of the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, blending cosmic science with dark fantasy. Featuring work by writers Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart with art by John Buscema and George Pérez, it's a key chapter in the Avengers' lore that ties into the larger Marvel mythos.
In "On The Matter Of Heroes!", the Avengers confront Django Maximoff in his New York apartment, uncovering a mystical link that binds the spirits of Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch to him. With the Vision’s intervention shattering the talisman, the siblings—though with no memory of their past—are drawn into a journey across Eastern Europe to uncover the truth. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life by John Byrne’s dynamic art, with inks by Klaus Janson and letters by Diana Albers, the issue’s cover by Greg Horn captures the mystery and stakes of a team on the edge of discovery.
