“A Ghost of Stone!”

In "A Ghost of Stone!", the Black Knight returns—not as a man, but as a spectral figure of living stone, vengeful and unstoppable. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Don Heck’s dynamic art, this 1977 classic sees the Avengers face a chilling, otherworldly threat unlike any they’ve encountered. The cover by Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott captures the moment of arrival with dramatic intensity.
