Avengers #76 May 1970
"The Blaze of Battle…the Flames of Love!"
Inside Avengers Mansion, T'Challa and Cap work feverishly
to bridge the gap between Earth and Polemachus…
the trans-dimensional world where Arkon has taken the Scarlet Witch
and several of the world's greatest atomic scientists!
The light-generating energy rings of Polemachus have burned out!
And the only way to reignite them is via a nuclear explosion in New York City!
Wanda tries to reason with Arkon,
but runs out of time once the Avengers attack!
With an urgent fury, the Prince of Asgard and Iron Man cut into the Imperion's best guardsmen!
But Arkon slips away with Wanda and teleports back to Earth! Pietro, Goliath, the Vision and the panther soon follow in kind!
And on top of the Empire State Building, Earth's Mightiest Heroes battle Arkon the Magnificent…for the life of the world!
NOTES: The Avengers appear next in Incredible Hulk 128 for a showdown with the Green Goliath.
Arkon returns in Avengers 84.
This issue features the first meeting between the Vision and the Scarlet Witch.
