The Defenders #4
In "The New Defender!", the Defenders face a surreal threat as the Enchantress reshapes Barbara into the mythic Valkyrie, wielding ancient power against her will. With the Black Knight frozen in stone and the fate of the team hanging on a dwindling countdown, the battle for control of Omegatron reaches a critical 89 hundredths of a second. Written by Steve Englehart and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, with Frank McLaughlin’s inks and Petra Goldberg’s colors, this 1973 Marvel classic features a striking cover by John Buscema and Jim Starlin, inks by Frank Giacoia.
