“And in This Corner: The New Emissaries of Evil!”

In "And in This Corner: The New Emissaries of Evil!", the Defenders face a fresh wave of threats as Egghead deploys Solar and Rhino to steal the Star of Capistan from Dr. Strange. When that plan fails, Egghead sends the volatile Cobalt Man to New York, hoping his explosive nature will wipe out the team. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Keith Giffen’s dynamic art and Klaus Janson’s distinctive inks, this 1976 issue features a cover by Jack Kirby and John Romita, with inks by both.
