The Avengers #8
In "Kang the Conqueror!", a carnival marksman’s dream of becoming a hero takes a dangerous turn when a clash with the police leads him to the Black Widow. With Hawkeye attacking Iron Man on her orders, the resulting fight leaves a friend wounded—and the marksman must flee, racing to protect the one who drew him into the chaos. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Don Heck’s dynamic art and Sam Rosen’s crisp lettering, this 1975 Newton Comics classic features a cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers that captures the high-stakes tension of a hero’s fall from grace.
