The Avengers #112

In "The Lion God Lives!", the Avengers Mansion is besieged by a militant group of African-American protesters accusing Black Panther of betraying his people by aligning with the U.S. government. The chaos is orchestrated by a shadowy figure known only as the Lion God, a mythic warrior claiming to represent Africa’s true legacy. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Don Heck, with inks by Frank Bolle and colors by Petra Goldberg, this 1973 issue presents a bold, socially charged story where identity, heritage, and allegiance collide. The cover, also by Don Heck, captures the tension with a striking image of the Lion God looming over the besieged mansion.
