Offered here is the original hand-drawn Marvel Comics artwork for Page 16 of The Avengers #78, published in 1970, featuring the celebrated creative team of Sal Buscema and Tom Palmer.

The artwork is packed with classic Bronze Age Marvel production detail from the dramatic futuristic aircraft designs to the expressive character work and original production markings. The handwritten editorial notation “Use ad # APR 3-70” remains visible on the original board, providing an additional glimpse into the production process behind this historic Marvel issue. This is not a reproduction, print, or recreation. This is the actual original artwork created for the publication of The Avengers #78.
