The Avengers #1
In "Captain America Joins...the Avengers!", Stan Lee and Jack Kirby launch a thrilling adventure as the frozen hero awakens after decades in suspended animation, only to be thrust into a new battle when the Avengers face an alien threat that turns them to stone. With Rick Jones and a revived Captain America tracking down the mysterious alien, the team must recover a broken spaceship—leading to a clash with Namor and his forces. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dan Adkins captures the epic scale, while George Roussos’s inks bring the action to life in this landmark 1973 UK release.
When an ancient ice block melts, Captain America—frozen since World War II—awakens to find himself in the middle of a new era, rescued by the Avengers. As the team reunites with their long-lost comrade, they’re suddenly turned to stone by an alien force, setting off a mission to recover a broken spaceship and restore their powers. With Namor and his Atlanteans threatening to disrupt their quest, the Avengers must balance loyalty, legacy, and the weight of a past they barely remember.
In this early tale from The Avengers #1 (1973), Dr. Stephen Strange—once a brilliant neurosurgeon—faces a life-altering crisis when a car accident destroys his hands. Desperate for a cure, he turns to the enigmatic Ancient One, only to find himself drawn into a hidden world of mysticism and danger. As he navigates his new path, he must confront the growing threat posed by his own student, Baron Mordo, whose loyalty is far from certain.
