“The Hand Closes!”

In "The Hand Closes!", the Defenders answer the Avengers' desperate call after the town of Citrusville vanishes through the Nexus of Realities. As they confront the demonic Unnthinnk and journey to the dark realm of the Six Fingered Hand, tensions rise—culminating in Nighthawk's dramatic departure from the team. Written by J. M. DeMatteis and brought to life by Don Perlin, Joe Sinnott, and Sal Trapani, with colors by George Roussos and letters by Jim Novak, this 1981 Marvel classic features a striking cover by Marshall Rogers.
