The Defenders #108

In "The Wasteland!", the Defenders—Hulk, Sub-Mariner, Hellcat, and Daimon—venture into a desolate, otherworldly realm to recover Valkyrie’s original white-clad body, now held in the clutches of the Enchantress within the cursed Dragonfang. As the team confronts the twisted magic binding Valkyrie’s soul, a mysterious force pulls Barbara Norriss’s spirit into the fray, entangling fate in ways no one expected. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and Mark Gruenwald, with dynamic art by Don Perlin, Joe Sinnott, Sal Trapani, Hilary Barta, and Al Milgrom, and a striking cover by Perlin and Milgrom, this 1982 issue blends mystical peril with emotional stakes.
