Owner's Description

Issue #23 heralds the first Silver Age John Romita work. The story features an appearance by Kang. In the story, Captain America gets a job as a boxer as Steve Rogers. Meanwhile, Kang the Conqueror plans to attack the Avengers yet again. Adding a fourth floor to the Avengers HQ, Kang lures the remaining three Avengers into an inescapable room and transports them to the future.

Kang tries to show his power to the future Princess Ravonna, but she doesn't care. Meanwhile, Steve gets worried after hearing about the Avengers' mysterious disappearance. The Avengers attempt to make an escape, but the Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye are recaptured, leaving Quicksilver on his own.

Captain America then appears, sending himself to the future using the Recreater, where he meets up with Quicksilver with a little help from Princess Ravonna. They confront Kang, and are joined by Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch, who have managed to escape. Ravonna still denies Kang marriage, so his armies move in to destroy the city.

Our WP 9.8 is one of three highest graded copies. We acquired the book off an E-Bay listing on 6/22/2018.
