The Invaders #26

Marvel's World War II super-team faces a deadly solo showdown on this March 1978 cover, where Captain America and the Sub-Mariner look on urgently as the flame-engulfed Human Torch and a determined Bucky confront the cloaked, gun-wielding Agent Axis. The cover copy makes the stakes unmistakable — "only one Invader is left to battle him to the death!" — and the cover artwork by Gil Kane, John Romita, and inkers Frank Giacoia and John Romita delivers that tension with real punch. Roy Thomas, Frank Robbins, and the rest of the creative team bring "Day of Infamy...Day of Shame!" to life inside.
