“Mightier Than the Sword?”

In "Mightier Than the Sword?", the Avengers face a dangerous double threat as the Swordsman infiltrates their mansion, uncovering a surprising turn in former ally Clint Barton’s allegiance—while Egghead’s latest scheme puts the team on high alert. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with moody precision by Gene Colan, with inks by Sam Grainger and Sam Rosen’s sharp lettering, this 1969 issue blends intrigue and action, all framed by a striking cover by Gene Colan and John Romita, inked by Frank Giacoia and Romita.
