"The Man-Ape Always Strikes Twice!" Part 1 of 2. Script by Roy Thomas. Pencils by Sal Buscema. Inks by Tom Palmer. Cover by John Buscema and Tom Palmer. On a quiet evening atop Avengers Mansion, the Man-Ape ambushes the star-spangled avenger! But thankfully Cap's teammates quickly join the fight and drive off the African super-villain! Why did the Man-Ape strike out at the Avengers all alone? Seems like a tall order for a low-level lackey! Later on after abducting Monica Lynne, the Man-Ape picks a fight with another avenger, the Black Panther! The Prince of Wakanda bravely battles his larger adversary, but does not prevail. However at the end of the struggle, T'Challa learns who is masterminding the Man-Ape's operation…the Grim Reaper! And the scythe-wielding scoundrel will be gunning for the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes next issue! Cameo and first appearance of the Lethal Legion. Second appearance of the Grim Reaper. Avengers Lineup: Black Panther, Captain America, Goliath, Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, and the Vision. (Notes: The Grim Reaper previously appeared in Avengers 52. The reaper dons his traditional purple and black costume for the first time in this issue.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.15. Grade: VG/FN 5.0 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
