The Invaders Annual #1

With the Arc de Triomphe as a backdrop, Alex Schomburg's cover for this 1977 King-Size Annual captures the Invaders at full throttle — Captain America drives his shield into a wave of Nazi soldiers while the Sub-Mariner hurls an enemy overhead and the Human Torch blazes a fiery arc above a swastika-marked tank. The cover promises both a "Blockbusting Battle Issue" and mystery guest stars, making this an oversized package that feels every bit as ambitious as its "Greatest Superheroes of World War Two" billing. Roy Thomas and Frank Robbins bring the same wartime energy inside, with inks by Frank Springer and colors by Sam Kato rounding out the creative team.
