"The Monstrous Master Plan of the Mandarin!" Script by Roy Thomas. Pencils by Don Heck. Inks by George Roussos (as George Bell). Cover by John Buscema and George Roussos (with John Romita touch-ups). The very first Avengers Annual is a blockbuster as the original team of avengers joins with the current team -- to battle six of their greatest foes! The Mandarin returns with a new scheme to conquer the world via a large synthetic diamond. However he needs help to accomplish his goal. So he sends his comrades in arms to three different continents to collect diamonds and wreak havoc! But Earth's Mightiest Heroes stand in their way! In South America Iron Man, Goliath, and the Wasp battle Power Man (aka Erik Josten) and the Swordsman! While in Asia Hercules and the Scarlet Witch clash with the Enchantress and the Executioner! And finally in Africa, Hawkeye and the thunder god face off with the Living Laser! But on the dark continent, the Mandarin has a special surprise waiting: the awesome android called Ultimo! Wow, Thor vs. Ultimo! A battle worth the cover price alone! Eventually, the full contingent of avengers meets the Mandarin inside his orbiting space station for the final showdown! A great annual!
