The Avengers #137

In "We Do Seek Out New Avengers!!", the Avengers answer the call for fresh talent as they open their ranks to new recruits. With key members away on personal missions, the team holds a public audition at Shae Stadium—testing potential heroes like Beast, who earns a spot through his intellect and courage. The search takes a sudden turn when the mysterious alien "The Stranger" attacks, revealing a hidden agenda tied to the Scarlet Witch. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by George Tuska and Jim Starlin, with inks by Vince Colletta and Jim Starlin, and colors by P. Rachelson, the issue’s cover by John Romita captures the moment of tension and discovery.
