The Avengers #68
“...And We Battle for the Earth!”
In "...And We Battle for the Earth!", the Avengers face a chilling threat as Ultron 6, after a failed nuclear strike, turns to kidnapping S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist Dr. MacLain—whose mind holds a surprising resistance to violence. With Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Sam Grainger’s tight inks anchoring the action, Roy Thomas crafts a tense, high-stakes showdown that tests the team’s resolve. The cover by Buscema and Grainger captures the moment with bold, dramatic flair.
