Marvel Comic Annual #1970

In a wild 1969 clash of myth and madness, The Cobra teams up with Mister Hyde in a bold bid to defeat Thor. Tracking the god of thunder to Dr. Blake’s office, they force the scientist to aid their scheme—only for Blake to turn the tables in a shocking twist.

In "The Gladiator from Outer Space!", a mysterious alien arrives on Earth demanding a champion to fight him in single combat—claiming his people will conquer the planet unless he’s defeated. When the Hulk answers the challenge, he soon discovers the alien’s true motives are far more sinister than they seem, as the Russians have orchestrated the whole event to capture him and forge a new army of Hulks.

In "Hawkeye, the Marksman!", a carnival marksman with a sharp eye and a restless spirit takes aim at a new life as a superhero—only to find himself tangled in a web of mistaken identity and sudden danger. When the police close in and he’s forced to flee, he’s drawn into the shadowy orbit of the Black Widow, who enlists him in a risky mission that puts him at odds with Iron Man. With loyalty tested and trust hanging by a thread, he must decide where his next shot will land.

In "Triumphant!", the Gargoyle takes the Hulk and Rick Jones captive, whisking them behind the Iron Curtain. With the Hulk transformed back into Bruce Banner, a surprising offer is made—Banner volunteers to help the Gargoyle, who longs to be human. As their unlikely alliance begins, the promise of redemption sets the stage for a tense escape.
