    "If Atlantis Should Fall!" Part 2 of 2. Avengers-Defenders crossover. Script by Steve Englehart. Pencils by Sal Buscema. Inks by Frank McLaughlin. Cover by Sal Buscema. With Hawkeye, Valkyrie, and the Sub-Mariner as their mind-slaves, the Red Ghost and Attuma begin their quest to conquer Atlantis! The two super-villains' assault on the underwater citadel is progressing as planned until Doctor Strange and the Silver Surfer get wind of the attack! The key to victory is knocking out the Red Ghost! But how can the Master of the Mystic Arts and the cosmic sky-rider do that? Simple, just block all the cosmic rays from outer space from entering the Earth's atmosphere! Wow, it's a good thing these two defenders are among the most powerful heroes on the planet! Cameo appearances by Clea and Wong. Flashback cameo by the Unicorn. Second story: "Deception!" Avengers-Defenders Clash Part 2 of 8. Story continues from Avengers 115. Dr. Strange has a new plan for turning the Black Knight (from a stone statue) back into his normal self. The Master of the Mystic Arts magically contacts Dane Whitman's soul floating in the dark realm. The stranded Black Knight responds to Dr. Strange's message, but the knight's reply is intercepted and transposed by the Dread Dormammu and his new ally, Loki! What is the fateful message that eventually reaches the Defenders?: "Go find the Evil Eye." Story continues in Avengers 116. Defenders Lineup: Doctor Strange, Hawkeye, Hulk, Silver Surfer, Sub-Mariner, and Valkyrie. (Note: The Red Ghost returns in Iron Man 82.) 32 pages Cover price $0.20.
