DescriptionLoved this part of the run. I think Klein's inks on Big John's pencils really gave depth and weight that went well with the complexity of the stories.In this story, the Avengers are called by an astral projection of (the then masked - loved that short run) Doctor Strange to help with a world threatening danger. Exactly what the Avengers were created for!! Social/Sharing |

WOW! Talk about a classic intro page!
I swear, between The Avengers and The Defenders, the world was coming to an end on a monthly basis!

This is how you do a title splash. So wonderfully cinematic.

A prophetic message for our times! Powerful and direct to the point! Buscema's art paired with the Klein inks land heavier and bolder!

This piece jumped out and grabbed me the first time I saw it. Just the perfect title page and so well executed. Nicely done.

You've got the "fire," are you going to get the ice? This half of the two title splashes is particularly memorable. I was only around five, so the world ending in a comic book still seemed a rather scary concept. Fifty-six years later, the art still packs an impact.

A brilliant composition. Despite so much of the image being the title, Buscema creates a real sense of menace, guaranteed to induce the reader to turn the page. Hawkeye standing on Aragorn is a nice touch, and the strange, shifting perspective is handled perfectly.
