Avengers - Vol 1 - #213 - 1981 - Court Martial - (FN)

One of the most famous, controversial, and heavily debated issues in the entire history of Marvel Comics. Written by then-Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter, Avengers #213 is a dark, gripping psychological drama that serves as the tragic climax to the long-festering breakdown of founding member Hank Pym (Yellowjacket). Stripping away traditional superhero punching matches, this landmark issue focuses entirely on the internal politics, ethics, and raw domestic tragedy unfolding behind the closed doors of Avengers Mansion.

The issue picks up in the tense aftermath of the previous chapter. During a high-stakes battle against the Elfqueen, an erratic and deeply insecure Yellowjacket unprovokedly attacked the villain from behind just as Captain America had successfully negotiated a peaceful surrender. This reckless insubordination forced the Avengers to call an official court-martial to review Hank Pym's status on the team.
