The Avengers #193

In "Battleground: Pittsburgh!", the Avengers are drawn into a crisis when Inferno, a volatile force tied to the tragic death of Joe Conroy’s co-worker Tim Turpin, threatens to destroy the Liberty Bridge in a fit of vengeance. Written by David Michelinie and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, with additional pencils by Frank Miller and inks by Dan Green, this 1980 issue delivers a grounded, high-stakes clash of personal loss and superhero intervention. The cover by Frank Miller and Bob McLeod captures the tension perfectly.
