The Defenders #59

This 1978 Marvel issue throws the Defenders headlong into chaos, with the Hulk smashing through debris at the center of a massive brawl while a winged horse carries a caped figure above the mayhem, and other Defenders — including a dark-costumed flier and a red-haired heroine — tangle with a huge mechanical behemoth amid explosions and flying wreckage. Alarmed bystanders scramble in the foreground as the cover tagline cheekily declares "Tyranny and Mutation — they're not a new rock group!" The cover is rendered by the sharp pencils of George Pérez and inked by Tony DeZuniga, with the interior story written by David A. Kraft and Ed Hannigan — a solid creative team delivering the kind of sprawling, anything-goes energy that made the Defenders one of Marvel's most unpredictable titles of the era.
