The Avengers #5
In "Kang, The Conqueror!", the Avengers face their most cunning adversary yet as Kang, The Conqueror, launches a bold new campaign against Earth. Written by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, with art and inks by Steve Ditko, this 1973 Marvel UK issue delivers a classic clash of wits and power, grounded in the timeless tension between time-traveling ambition and the team’s resolve. The cover by Ron Wilson and Frank Giacoia captures the moment with striking, dynamic flair.
In "Kang, The Conqueror!", the time-displaced tyrant Kang sets his sights on ruling Earth, forcing the Avengers to rally against his overwhelming power. With Iron Man, Giant-Man, Captain America, Thor, and the Wasp standing firm, it's up to the Wasp and the Teen Brigade to hold the line—buying precious time for the team to break free and confront the conqueror’s ultimate plan.
When a wave of unexplained sleepings strikes New York, the police turn to Doctor Strange as a last hope. Strange soon uncovers a terrifying truth: the Nightmare has found a way to pull dreamers into his realm for study. With the help of The Ancient One and Wong, Strange must confront his ancient enemy in the surreal Nightmare World—where the rules of reality bend and the mind is the battleground.
