"If Wishes Were Horses" Part 1 of 4. Script by Walt Simonson. Art by John Buscema (layouts) and Tom Palmer (finishes). Cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer. The cataclysmic clash with the Leviathan is over! But Earth's Mightiest Heroes have suffered staggering losses. Marrina has tragically perished. Prince Namor has left the team in anguish. Captain Marvel is badly emaciated. And the Black Knight begins suffering from the curse of the ebony blade. Needless to say morale is near an all-time low as only Doctor Druid, She-Hulk, and Thor can answer the call to duty. Right now the Avengers would be extremely vulnerable to an attack from one of their long-time foes! And inauspiciously Ravonna and about a half dozen Kangs have something in the works! The beautiful time traveler's instrument of deception is none other than…the Avengers' new chairman, Doctor Druid! Cameo appearances by Frank Rambeau and Maria Rambeau. (Notes: Captain Marvel's serious medical condition ends her long service on the Avengers' active roster dating back to Avengers 227. Her recovery takes place in Captain Marvel (2nd series) 1.) 32 pages Cover price $1.00.

"Beggars Would Ride!" Part 2 of 4. Script by Walt Simonson. Art by John Buscema (layouts) and Tom Palmer (finishes). Cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer. Ravonna plucks a giant mechanical dinosaur from the time stream and sends it to attack Washington D.C.! Once Doctor Druid becomes aware of the Mechanisaurus Rex in the nation's capital, he sends the Mighty Thor to intercept it! But the good (and conniving) doctor doesn't want the thunder god to destroy it, he wants the dinosaur to destroy the thunder god! Who put this guy in charge?! During the battle against the futuristic dinosaur, Thor sends a call for help back to Hydro-Base! Dr. Druid stops She-Hulk from leaving for Washington, but the nearly immobile Black Knight manages to escape! Can the knight's 12th century ebony blade carve up a 41st century dinosaur? Meanwhile the council of Kangs finally realizes what Ravonna (aka Kang Nebula) is planning! And begin mobilizing to prevent her from acquiring the most powerful weapon in the universe! Avengers Lineup: Black Knight, Doctor Druid, She-Hulk, and Thor. (Notes: In a situation similar to Captain Marvel's plight, the blood curse of the ebony blade eventually ends Dane Whitman's time on the Avengers' active roster for several years. The knight's story continues in the four-part Black Knight Limited Series (published in 1990) and Avengers Spotlight 39. The letters page includes a letter from comics publisher Charles Novinskie.) 32 pages Cover price $1.00.
