The key to victory is knocking out the Red Ghost! But how can the Master of the Mystic Arts and the cosmic sky-rider do that?

"Divide and Conquer" Avengers-Defenders crossover. Part 4 of 8. Guest-starring the Avengers. Script by Steve Englehart. Pencils by Sal Buscema. Inks by Frank McLaughlin. Cover by Sal Buscema. Story continues from Avengers 116. The one-on-one battles for the Evil Eye continue! And the next battleground is Monterrey, Mexico! Iron Man checks in at the local university and finds the professor who is safekeeping the Evil Eye. But before Shell-Head can secure the eye, it's stolen by a defender! Which one? Why it's the Avengers' former ace archer, Hawkeye! And just like old times Hawkeye and Iron Man throw down in the streets of Monterrey! This should be an easy victory for the golden avenger, but the bow-slinger may have a trick or two in store for his former teammate! Next Chapter: "Dr. Strange vs. the Black Panther and Mantis!" The next piece of the Evil Eye rests in the heartland of America! Could one of the battles to save the world take place in an Indiana cornfield? Doctor Strange arrives in the Midwest first and locates the Evil Eye. The Sorcerer Supreme hopes to make a quick getaway; however, he can't escape the sharp detection skills of T'Challa and Mantis! So the two avengers have found the Master of the Mystic Arts, but now can they beat him in pitched battle? Story continues in Avengers 117. (Notes: Although the cover depicts three defenders rushing to aid Hawkeye, he fights alone vs. Iron Man. This issue includes a full-page survey for readers to complete and mail back to the Marvel bullpen.) 32 pages Cover price $0.20.
