“La tour prend garde !”

In "La tour prend garde !", Basil Elks stumbles upon the Kree alpha stone, setting off a chain of events that transforms him into the enigmatic Basilisk after a night watchman's gunshot unleashes its power. With Captain Marvel and Spider-Man racing to secure the fabled omega stone, the stakes rise as Captain Marvel vanishes into the stone's depths—leaving the fate of both heroes uncertain. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Gil Kane with inks by Jim Mooney and Dave Hunt, and colored by Glynis Wein, this 1978 issue features a striking cover by Jean Frisano.
