Avengers - Vol 1 - #152 - 1976 - Nightmare in New Orleans! - (VFN+)

A classic, atmospheric Bronze Age romp that takes Earth’s Mightiest Heroes out of their comfort zone in New York City and drops them straight into the gothic, swampy shadows of the American South. Written by Gerry Conway with spectacular visuals by the legendary artistic duo of John Buscema and Joe Sinnott, Avengers #152 serves as an action-packed, supernatural-infused mystery that forces a fragmented team to face off against a grotesque, mind-controlling villain from Marvel's horror stables.

The narrative begins with a heavy focus on the team’s ongoing internal relationship drama back at Avengers Mansion. The Vision and The Scarlet Witch (Wanda Frank) are dealing with growing marital strain, while Wonder Man (Simon Williams) is still struggling to adjust to a world he was legally dead to for years. Seeking to clear their heads, a specific detachment of the team—including Captain America, Iron Man, the Vision, Scarlet Witch, and the Beast—departs New York to investigate a bizarre series of disappearances down south.
