“The Black Widow Strikes Again!”

In "The Black Widow Strikes Again!", the enigmatic spy takes a dangerous gamble to prove her loyalty, stealing Tony Stark’s cutting-edge anti-grav ray to strike Fort Knox. Iron Man stands in her way, but as the device is destroyed, the Black Widow vanishes—leaving her motives and next move shrouded in mystery. Written by Stan Lee and N. Korok, with art by Don Heck and cover by Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky, this 1964 issue delivers a tense, high-stakes clash of wits and technology.
