The Avengers 1963 #26 Regular Edition - 3.5 - $12.00

The winsome Wasp flies to New York to warn that the savage Sub-Mariner is bent on its destruction. Enroute she is trapped by Attuma, Namor's arch-foe, who is himself planning the destruction of the surface-dwellers. Jan notifies the Avengers who arrive - sans Hawkeye - and are roundly beaten.
