Highest Graded"Houses Divided Cannot Stand!" Part 2 of 3. Script by Steve Englehart. Art by John Buscema (layouts) and Don Heck (finishes). Cover by Ron Wilson and John Romita. At the World Trade Center, the ferocious battle between the Avengers and the Zodiac rages! After the Sentinel of Liberty joins the fight the tide turns in favor of the heroes! But when Aries throws Mantis off one of the 110-story towers, the tide takes a lethal turn! However in spectacular style, the Vision dramatically saves Mantis from certain death! Several hours later Earth's Mightiest Heroes track the Zodiac to Cornelius Van Lunt's New Jersey headquarters. And for the third time in as many days, the Mighty Avengers throw down with the super-villains from the stars! Meanwhile, as she recovers from her injuries, Mantis remains thoroughly impressed with the synthezoid avenger. Is that going to cause problems between her and the Swordsman? Stay tuned! Avengers Lineup: Black Panther, Captain America, Iron Man, Mantis, Scarlet Witch, Swordsman, Thor, and the Vision.
Artists Information
'The Michelangelo of comics.' Buscema was one of the mainstays of Marvel Comics during its 1960s and 1970s heyday, best known for his run on the The Avengers and The Silver Surfer, and for over 200 stories featuring the sword-and-sorcery hero Conan the Barbarian. In addition, he penciled at least one issue of nearly every major Marvel title, including long runs on two of the company's top books, Fantastic Four and Thor.
Don Heck was an American comics artist best known for co-creating the Marvel Comics characters Iron Man and the Wasp, and for his long run penciling The Avengers during the Silver Age.
John Romita was one of the driving forces behind Marvel's Silver Age, he took up the reins on Spider-Man following the departure of Steve Ditko with issue #38. Romita's run on Spider-Man would be long and significant, introducing characters including Mary Jane Watson, the Kingpin and many others. He would be a major contributor to the entire Marvel line throughout the 1970s including designing the look of The Punisher.
