Les Vengeurs #[2]

In "Le diamant maléfique," Loki orchestrates a daring escape for the giant Ghan from the Asgardians, securing a debt of gratitude that the trickster god intends to call in when he plots to seize the throne of Asgard. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, inks by Vince Colletta, and vibrant colors by Stan Goldberg, this 1983 issue captures the mythic tension of Asgardian politics with a touch of dark intrigue. The cover, a striking collaboration by George Pérez, Terry Austin, and Ricardo Villamonte, hints at the looming conflict without revealing its course.
