The Avengers #39
“The Torment... And the Triumph!”
In "The Torment... And the Triumph!", Hawkeye's personal turmoil over Black Widow's departure leaves him vulnerable to the Mad Thinker's cunning trap, forcing the Avengers to confront the brutal Triumvirate of Terror—Hammerhead, Piledriver, and Thunderboot. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by Don Heck and George Roussos, this 1967 classic blends emotional stakes with high-octane action, all wrapped in a striking cover by Heck and Roussos.
