The Avengers #225

The Avengers #225 was published by Marvel Comics in November 1982. It represents a period in the series where the creative direction was overseen by writer Roger Stern and penciler Bob Hall. This specific issue features a standalone story involving the team’s ongoing dynamics and the shifting membership typical of the era, reflecting the editorial emphasis on character development within the high-stakes world of the Avengers during the early eighties.

The cover art, executed by Ed Hannigan and Klaus Janson, captures the dramatic visual style prevalent in Marvel books of the time. The narrative follows the team as they deal with internal tensions and external threats, a hallmark of Stern's celebrated run on the title. It is often regarded by collectors as a representative example of the mid-tier Bronze Age Avengers catalog, valued for its continuity-heavy storytelling and the distinct artistic collaboration between Stern and his frequent artistic partners.
