Marvel Super Action #22

The evocative title "Some Say the World Will End in Fire......Some Say in Ice!" sets the stage perfectly for this 1980 Marvel Super Action reprint starring Earth's Mightiest Heroes. John Buscema and George Klein's cover plunges the Avengers — Vision, the Falcon (with wings spread wide), a blue-costumed figure soaring overhead, and a sword-wielding winged warrior — into a chaotic battle against a massive, fang-filled icy creature looming over rocky terrain, with a shadowy dark figure and a golden serpentine threat lurking at the edges. It's a densely packed, kinetic scene that captures the Avengers at their most embattled, making this 40-cent issue a fine showcase of Buscema's dynamic storytelling.
