The Champions #6

The Champions face their toughest test yet in this June 1976 issue, where the armored villain Rampage squares off against the full roster — Hercules, Angel, Iceman, Black Widow, and Ghost Rider — with a boastful promise to rip the newly formed team apart. Jack Kirby's pencils and Frank Giacoia's inks deliver a kinetic cover that scatters heroes across a burst of energy, with Angel and Iceman sent flying while Hercules charges in with fists raised and Black Widow stands ready at Rampage's side. It's a vivid snapshot of 1970s Marvel at full throttle, capturing the scrappy, big-personality energy that made the Champions such an entertaining team to root for.
