L'incroyable Hulk #174

In "L'appel du désert," Walter Simonson pens and draws a gripping tale where Roger Willis, the new guardian of the Ancient Ark, must defend it from the Black Elves' relentless assault—with Thor at his side. When Malekith captures Melodi, Thor’s true (or enchanted) love, and threatens her life unless the Ark is surrendered, the stakes rise in a battle that tests loyalty, courage, and the weight of ancient power. The cover, by John Byrne, captures the tension in bold, dynamic lines.
