Ms. Marvel #2

In "Enigma of Fear!", Ms. Marvel faces a dual threat as the newly empowered Destructor vows revenge against her on behalf of AIM, while the escaped Scorpion adds chaos to the fray. With her memory slipping and her mind haunted by blackouts, Carol turns to her friend Barnett, who uncovers the truth of her identity during a hypnotic session—though the revelation comes too late to prepare her. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by John Buscema’s dynamic art and Joe Sinnott’s sharp inks, this 1977 issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash that pushes Ms. Marvel to her limits. The cover by John Buscema and Dick Giordano captures the intensity of the moment, a 30-cent comic in 1977 that remains a standout in the series.
