“Holocaust in a Hidden Land!”

★ 1st appearance — Nebula

In "Holocaust in a Hidden Land!", the Avengers race to the Savage Land to stop Terminus’s rampage, only to face Ka-Zar and Zabu in a tense standoff. Meanwhile, Captain Marvel encounters the pirate leader Nebula in a startling first meeting, while the true source of Terminus’s armor begins to reveal itself. Roger Stern’s gripping script and John Buscema’s dynamic art—inked by Tom Palmer and colored by Christie Scheele—bring this high-stakes clash to life, with a cover by Buscema and Palmer capturing the chaos in bold detail.
