The Defenders #113

The cover tagline says it all — "Too Many Heroes…" — and Don Perlin and Steve Mitchell deliver on that promise with a sprawling, densely packed image of Marvel characters in full collision. Dominating the composition is a massive, helmeted, black-and-white armored figure looming over the chaos, while a wave of heroes — including the Hulk, Namor, Scarlet Witch, a red-caped Thor, Moondragon, and what appears to be most of the Marvel universe's bench — swarms around and against him. With a story titled "Moon Madness!" and this much costumed mayhem crammed onto one 1982 cover, this issue promises the kind of gloriously overcrowded superhero spectacle that made The Defenders such a distinctive corner of Marvel's lineup.
