Giant-Size Defenders #2

Sixty-eight pages of Marvel mayhem await in this 1974 oversized entry, where the cover — penciled by Gil Kane and John Romita and inked by Klaus Janson and John Romita — throws the Defenders headlong into a city-consuming inferno. The Hulk, Son of Satan (trident in hand), Valkyrie, and a blue-costumed Nighthawk surge against a massive winged demonic creature amid fire and crumbling rubble, with the cover copy promising a feature-length thriller plus bonus "shock-sagas" spotlighting Dr. Strange and the Sub-Mariner. It's a genuinely full-bodied package — written by Len Wein with art by Gil Kane and Klaus Janson — that captures the Defenders at their sprawling, supernatural best.
