The Avengers #44
In "The Valiant Also Die!", the Avengers launch a daring assault on Colonel Ying's base, plunging into chaos as the Red Guardian emerges as a shocking adversary. With the Black Widow's past slowly unfolding, the mystery deepens as Captain America faces a foe whose tactics and presence hint at a familiar, unsettling truth. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life by John Buscema’s dynamic art, with Vince Colletta’s inks and Sam Rosen’s lettering, this 1967 issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash. The cover by John Buscema and Vince Colletta captures the intensity of the battle in striking detail.
