The Defenders #36
In "A Garden of Earthly Demise!", the Defenders face a twisted new threat as Valkyrie languishes in jail, while Hulk and Jack Norriss race to rescue Aragorn. With Nighthawk’s mind restored only to be captured again, and Dr. Strange and the Red Guardian taken by the Plantman, the team’s unity is tested in a battle where nature itself seems to be the enemy. Written by Steve Gerber and Mary Skrenes, with art by Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson, and a cover by Gil Kane and Mike Esposito, this 1976 Marvel classic delivers a tense, surreal showdown that turns the garden into a living trap.
