The Avengers #99
In "They First Make Mad!", Stan Lee delivers a quirky, character-driven tale as the Avengers grapple with a mysterious force that turns allies against one another—before even the team’s most level-headed members can keep their cool. The story unfolds amid a lively backdrop of real-world Marvel moments, from Stan Lee’s public promotion of Luke Cage, Hero for Hire, to the company’s spotlight at the New York Cultural Center comic art exhibit. Cover by John Buscema and Barry Windsor-Smith.
