Les Défenseurs #9

"La trêve" marks a pivotal moment in the Defenders' saga, as the Six Fingered Hand unleashes Dracula to crush the team—only for the unlikely alliance between the Defenders and the vampire lord to forge a temporary truce against a greater threat. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life by Don Perlin’s dynamic art, with inking by Joe Sinnott, Frank Giacoia, and Al Milgrom, and vibrant colors by George Roussos, this 1984 issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash. The cover by Michael Golden captures the eerie intensity of the moment, a striking visual that echoes the story’s dark turn.
