    "Blitzkrieg in Central Park!" Script by Roy Thomas. Pencils by Don Heck. Inks by Vince Colletta. Cover by John Buscema and Vince Colletta. Following Earth's Mightiest Heroes' victory in Avengers Annual #1, the city hosts "Avengers Day" in Central Park! And what a grand celebration it is as nine avengers gather to receive accolades from the crowd. However there is one person in the crowd -- actually one android in the crowd -- who has not come to praise the Avengers, but to bury them! When the moment is right, the Super-Adaptoid attacks! A.I.M.'s finest creation -- with his array of mimicked powers -- keeps the assembled avengers off-balance. But the adaptoid's obsession with killing the star-spangled avenger provides the heroes with an opportunity to regroup! And Pietro comes up with an idea! Will Quicksilver's quick plan short-circuit the Super-Adaptoid? Avengers Lineup: Captain America, Goliath, Hawkeye, Hercules, Iron Man, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Thor, and the Wasp. (Notes: The Super-Adaptoid returns in Iron Man (1st series) #49. This story was reprinted in Marvel Triple Action #37.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.12.
