“Wild in the Streets!”

In "Wild in the Streets!", the Avengers face growing tension as public opinion fractures over Namor’s recent induction. When Moonstone exploits the unrest to incite chaos, Captain Marvel springs into action to rescue an FBI agent from a crashing helicopter. The team captures Moonstone—only to inadvertently deliver her to the Absorbing Man and Titania, who’ve disguised themselves as NYPD officers. Meanwhile, Namor is thrust into a new crisis when he’s sued for $2 billion by insurance investors, forcing him to leave for Atlantis to confront Attuma, now in control of the underwater realm. Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by John Buscema, with inks by Tom Palmer, colors by Christie Scheele, and letters by Jim Novak, the cover by Buscema and Palmer captures the storm of conflict brewing beneath the surface.
