    To return his fellow Elder of the Universe, the Collector, to life, the Grandmaster enters a cosmic wager with Death herself, using Earth heroes as their chess pieces! Heroes from around the world, including several never-before-seen, battle it out for nothing less than the fate of Earth itself in the Contest of Champions! Featuring every Earth hero, circa 1982! Then, Grandmaster causes more problems for the Avengers when he plans to wipe out all life in the universe, and he pits the Avengers of both coasts against each other to claim his prize!

    Starring 15 Avengers and special guest star, the Silver Surfer!

It begins in Contest of Champions and escalates into the Avengers Annuals that follow. The House of Ideas treats the readers to some of the best super hero showdowns in the history of comics." - Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist
