Item Description

Morale is low for The AVENGERS, here in issue #50 from 1968 - their membership is down to just 3 members (WASP, HAWKEYE & GOLIATH) following the resignations of CAPTAIN AMERICA, QUICKSILVER and the SCARLET WITCH!

But that doesn't mean writer Roy Thomas couldn't come up with another exciting adventure for the depleted team! In "To Tame a Titan!", he sends the active trio off to Greece in search of the missing HERCULES and from there, things get heated!

In Greece, the Titan known as TYPHON has taken control of Olympus and banished HERCULES to a limbo dimension. In this netherworld, HERCULES finds his father Zeus and the other members of the ancient Greek pantheon, who have all having exiled there as well. Having only enough power to return one of them to Earth, Zeus sends HERCULES, whom he believes alone can vanquish TYPHON.

The AVENGERS, bolstered by HERCULES' return, manage to eventually vanquish TYPHON and send him to imprisonment in the mythical Lower Depths. The Greek Pantheon is able to return to Mt. Olympus, and HERCULES decides he must stay, and resigns from the AVENGERS. (It's the end of his appearances in THE AVENGERS until issue #98!)

Returning to New York, the three remaining AVENGERS realize that there will still be menaces to confront and that the AVENGERS must remain active, even if it is only the three of them.
