Owner's Description
IMHO, this is one of the better later Avengers covers with Thor front and center. Issue #84 also features Arkon and Enchantress appearances.
In the book, the Black Knight is trapped on a strange world with his horse, Aragon. Where he is attacked and captured by Arkon. This is seen in a dream by the Scarlet Witch who wakes up screaming, telling her fellow Avengers of her nightmare. They decide to investigate further to make sure that the Black Knight is all right. Calling his estate in Britain, they find that he is not home and the Avengers decide to pay a visit to Arkon's home world.
There, the Black Knight is brought before Arkon and his new consort, the Enchantress, who suggests she employ her powers of seduction to manipulate the Black Knight and plot revenge against her and Arkon's mutual enemies. Asking Black Knight how he appeared on Arkon's world, the Knight explains that he almost killed two criminals and sought advice from the ghost of his ancestor, the original Black Knight, who tells him the only way to be free of his ebony blade's blood lust is to destroy it through magical means. The Knight heads to Stonehenge where he was confronted by an old woman who suddenly transported him to Arkon's world to find an enchanted well to destroy his sword. The Enchantress Akron that it’s all a trick orchestrated by the Avengers to dethrone him, which provokes him to initiate a preemptive strike on the Avengers.
On Earth, Thor and the Black Panther are on their way to the Avengers mansion when it suddenly vanishes and an image of the Enchantress informs Thor that it is her doing and the Avengers are her prisoners. The Avengers inside the mansion soon find themselves, and the whole mansion, transported to Arkon's world where they must battle Arkon's army. During the battle, all the Avengers are captured and taken before the Enchantress and Arkon. When the Scarlet Witch again refuses to be Arkon's queen, he orders them locked away. Thor and Black Panther soon arrive and fight their way to Arkon's castle and free their comrades, and soon end up in a pitched battle with Arkon, the Enchantress, and the Black Knight (who is still under the Enchantress' spell). During the battle, one of Arkon's thunderbolts knocks the Black Knight's ebony sword into the enchanted well that was said to be able to destroy his sword. The battle is soon ended when Arkon realizes that the Enchantress had lied to him, although she sti;; manages to escape. Soon after the Avengers leave Arkon to transport themselves back home.
Our WP 9.8 is tied with 7 other copies for highest graded. We acquired the book from the 12/22/2016 CL Auction.
