Cover by Jim Starlin. Story continues from Avengers Annual 7. After Captain Marvel, Iron Man, and Thor destroyed Thanos' synthetic power gem, victory appeared close at hand for Earth's Mightiest Heroes. But the evil genius' back up plan has worked to perfection and knocked out the Avengers! Before succumbing to unconsciousness though, Moondragon sends a desperate plea for help back to Earth, specifically to Peter Parker! The web-slinger knows that cosmic battles in outer space are not his specialty, so he swings by the Baxter Building to scoop up a friend. After a quick pow-wow, the blue-eyed idol of millions and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man blast off to save the galaxy! It's an epic encounter onboard the mad Titan's space ark as the Thing, Thor, Spider-Man, and finally Adam Warlock test their mettle vs. Thanos! Simply a fantastic annual! First appearances of Master Order and Lord Chaos. Avengers Lineup: Beast, Captain America, Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Thor, and the Vision. (Note: Besides a surreal appearance in the Death of Captain Marvel Graphic Novel (1982), Thanos does not appear again until Silver Surfer (2nd series) #34 thirteen years later.) 48 pages Cover price $0.60.

"Champion!" Guest-starring Thor, Hulk, Sub-Mariner, Colossus, Sasquatch, Doc Samson, and Wonder Man. Cameos by the Fantastic Four, Avengers, and X-Men. Story by Tom DeFalco. Art by Ron Wilson, Camp Esposito, Giacoia, Dan Green, and Chic Stone. In arguably the best Thing story of all, a cosmic immortal known as the Champion, a being of nigh immeasurable strength whose existence is defined by physical contest, arrives on Earth and wishes to test his mettle against the mightiest heroes this planet has to offer. If they do not fight, this powerful being will destroy the Earth. After readily dispatching all contenders, the last man standing is Aunt Petunia's favorite nephew. But, can even the strongest member of the Fantastic Four hope to defeat an Elder of the Universe? 48 pages.

NOTE: "This issue was parodied on the cartoon "Dextor's Laboratory," in Dial M for Monkey. The Thing's role was filled by Dextor's Super Monkey and the Champion-like character was voiced by professional wrestler "Macho Man" Randy Savage." - Odinson, mycomicshop.com Archivist
