The Defenders #24

Few team-up covers from 1975 can match the sheer density of hero-vs.-villain action packed into this one. The Hulk, Power Man, Daredevil, Valkyrie, and the Son of Satan surge into battle while massive serpentine coils writhe around them — a vivid promise of the chaos inside — with inset portraits of the Hulk, a mystery figure, and the Winged Avenger rounding out the roster along the left edge. Cover pencils by Gil Kane and John Romita, inked by Klaus Janson and John Romita, give the whole brawl a kinetic, almost overwhelming energy that makes "What more could a Marvelite ask for?" feel like a perfectly fair question.
