And finally in Africa, Hawkeye and the thunder god face off with the Living Laser! But on the dark continent, the Mandarin has a special surprise waiting: the awesome android called Ultimo!

Captain America, the Sentinel of Liberty, Hawkeye, master bowman, Iron Man, brilliant walking Weapon of Mass Destruction, Wasp, diminutive heroine, and Goliath, ten-feet tall with the strength of a hundred men, must face their fiercest foe yet, the powerful force known as the Earth-Wrecker.

If they can't...mankind is doomed! Softcover, 4-in. x 7-in., 122 pages, Text Only. Cover price $0.50.
