The Avengers #164

The Lethal Legion is back — and Earth's Mightiest Heroes appear to be on the ropes in this October 1977 issue of The Avengers. George Pérez's cover pencils (inked by John Tartaglione) pack the scene with furious action: Captain America is blasted to the ground, a glowing-fisted villain looms over him, while the Vision, Black Panther, and other Avengers struggle against the onslaught amid crumbling rubble. The cover's defiant tag — "Not all of them!" — hints that the team's fighting spirit isn't quite extinguished, making this a hard one to put back on the shelf.
