“Heart of Stone”

In "Heart of Stone," the Avengers face a bizarre threat when a primordial ooze-creature emerges from Jamaica Bay, forcing the team into a high-stakes battle unlike any they've encountered. Written by Roger Stern and Steven Grant, with dynamic art by John Byrne and Dan Green, this 1979 issue blends cosmic menace with a touch of the unexpected—especially when Spider-Man briefly crosses paths with martial arts expert June Jitsui, defeating her in a surprisingly sweet showdown involving Hostess Twinkies. The cover by Byrne and Green captures the chaos with bold, expressive detail.
