Avengers #98 🔑

1st Appearance - The Warhawks

Avengers Vol. 1 #98, published in April 1972, marks the beginning of a new mythological arc, as the team finds themselves entangled in a war among the Olympian gods. When a mysterious energy surge pulls Hercules back into the fold—injured, confused, and warning of a godly conflict—the Avengers must step between two realms before all-out divine war erupts.

This issue features a strong lineup with Thor, Iron Man, Vision, and Scarlet Witch, and sets up the next major confrontation in Avengers #99–100 involving Ares and Pluto, along with a full-scale Olympian invasion.

Notably, Avengers #98 is also one of the last Marvel comics drawn by the legendary Barry Windsor-Smith before he transitioned to his classic Conan the Barbarian work, making it a visually rich Bronze Age gem.
