The Avengers #89

In "The Only Good Alien...", the Avengers face a cosmic threat when a mysterious alien presence stirs in the Negative Zone, drawing the attention of Captain Marvel and his ally Rick Jones. With Mar-Vell racing to free Jones from the prison dimension, the team must confront the dangerous consequences of their actions—especially when Annihilus awakens, and the lingering effects of Nega-Radiation begin to take their toll. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, with inks and colors by Sam Grainger and lettering by Sam Rosen, this 1971 issue delivers a tense, high-stakes adventure that pushes the heroes to their limits. The cover, also by Sal Buscema, captures the moment of escalating tension with striking clarity.
