Marvel Double Feature #2
In "Them!", Steve Rogers finds himself pulled into a shadowy mystery when Nick Fury arrives at Avengers Mansion seeking intel on a secretive group known as "THEM." A bizarre flying craft crashes nearby, unleashing a chemical android that Cap barely fends off, while unseen from a remote lab, "THEM" monitors the attack through a network of surveillance and a hidden garden of living androids grown from DNA. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, with inks by Frank Giacoia and lettering by Artie Simek, this 1974 Marvel Double Feature standout features a cover by Kirby, Severin, Tuska, Giacoia, and Esposito — a striking visual that matches the story’s blend of espionage, science fiction, and Cold War tension.

Cap is in the middle of training, Nick Fury turns up looking for info on a secret organization known as "THEM". A strange flying craft lands outside Avengers Mansion, and a chemical android attacks. In a remote lab, members of "THEM" observe by remote camera, while watching over a "battalion" of androids growing like plants in a glass-enclosed hydroponic garden, due to experiments with D.N.A. Cap and Fury barely manage to stop the android. Fury tells Cap it's SHIELD's job, and to stay out of it. But he gives Cap a SHIELD "Priority A-1" badge to make getting in touch easier in the future.
