The Avengers #109

In "The Measure of a Man!", Hawkeye’s personal struggles come to a head as he grapples with the evolving romance between the Scarlet Witch and Vision, leading him to abruptly depart the Avengers. Torn between loyalty and emotion, his sudden exit sends ripples through the team, especially when Wanda begins to question his absence and suspects something deeper is at play. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Don Heck with inks by Frank McLaughlin, this 1973 issue captures a pivotal moment in the team’s dynamics, with a cover by John Buscema and John Verpoorten.
