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.
In this classic 1975 tale from The Avengers #8, the time-traveling tyrant Kang the Conqueror arrives with an ultimatum: rule Earth or face annihilation. With the Avengers locked in battle against his forces, it's up to the Wasp and the Teen Brigade to buy just enough time for the team to break free and turn the tide—before Kang’s conquest becomes unstoppable.
In "Hawkeye the Marksman," a carnival marksman with a sharp eye and a restless spirit answers the call to become a superhero—only to find himself tangled in a web of mistaken identity and danger. When a clash with the police leads him to the Black Widow, he’s drawn into a mission that forces him to take on Iron Man, not out of malice, but loyalty. As the fight turns perilous and his own actions threaten his friend, he must choose between escape and redemption.
