Marvel Treasury Edition #9

Marvel's oversized Treasury Edition format gives this 1976 "Special Collector's Issue" the sprawling canvas it deserves, with a Gil Kane and John Romita cover packed wall-to-wall with Marvel muscle. Spider-Man, Thor, the Hulk, the Silver Surfer, the Thing, Sub-Mariner, and Captain America are all visible in a wild, kinetic melee that perfectly captures the tagline's promise of "Action in the Marvel Manner!" Inside, Roy Thomas scripts and John Buscema pencils "In the Rage of Battle!" — a team-up story rendered on the generously large treasury pages that make every Buscema figure hit with real weight.
