The Champions #2

The Champions' second outing from January 1976 puts Hercules flat on his back, pinned down by the triumphant Pluto, God of Hell, whose roaring declaration — "Today belongs to Pluto!" — sets a genuinely ominous tone. Behind them, Black Widow, Ghost Rider on his flaming cycle, Angel, and Iceman are all charging into the fray, yet Pluto's taunt insists none of them can turn the tide. Ron Wilson's pencils and Joe Sinnott's inks make this an energetic, vividly composed cover that captures the unlikely chemistry of Marvel's most eclectic super-team right at the start of their run together.
