In "Of Wizards, Shadows & Kings," the Defenders team up with the enigmatic wizard Xhoohx to undo the chaos caused by the Lunatiks and Professor Turk, culminating in a final clash with the mysterious Arisen Tyrk. Written by Ed Hannigan and brought to life by Herb Trimpe’s dynamic art—inked by Mike Esposito and colored by Ben Sean—this 1979 Marvel classic sees the team use cunning and magic to trap Arisen Tyrk in another dimension. The cover, penciled by Trimpe and inked by Don Perlin, captures the epic tension of the moment.
