First full appearance of Mystique • Avengers guest appearance • Classic Claremont & Cockrum era
“The St. Valentine’s Day Avengers Massacre!” — the issue that fully introduces Mystique, the shape-shifting mutant who would become one of Marvel’s defining anti-heroes. Ms. Marvel teams up with the Avengers (Wonder Man, Vision, Scarlet Witch, Yellowjacket & the Wasp) to take on Centurion and Mystique in a Claremont-scripted story loaded with Silver-to-Bronze Age energy.
Featuring a Dave Cockrum cover and art by Jim Mooney & Ricardo Villamonte, this is one of the key late-’70s Marvel issues bridging the Avengers and X-Men worlds.
