“A Quiet Half-Hour in Saigon!”

In "A Quiet Half-Hour in Saigon!", the Avengers stay in Vietnam as Mantis searches for clues about her forgotten past, while a mysterious astral visitation from Swordsman unsettles her. Back in Limbo, Immortus pulls Kang and Rama-Tut from the time stream, setting unseen forces in motion. Written by Steve Englehart and drawn by Sal Buscema with Joe Staton on inks, this 1975 issue blends quiet tension with cosmic intrigue, all under the striking cover by Gil Kane and Mike Esposito, with Frank Giacoia's inks.
