The Avengers #96

In "The Andromeda Swarm!", the Avengers launch a daring rescue mission across the stars, racing to save their captured teammates from a Skrull fleet in the Andromeda Galaxy. As the battle rages in deep space, Rick Jones uncovers a shocking truth: the Kree Supreme Intelligence has been manipulating events from the shadows, fueling the long-standing war between the Kree and Skrulls. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by Neal Adams—whose cover pencils and inks define the issue’s bold, cinematic flair—this 1972 Marvel classic blends interstellar action with a twist that redefines the conflict’s origins.
