// Archive commentary
Avengers #14 arrived in March 1965 as part of the Silver Age Avengers' early run, written by Stan Lee with art by Don Heck and a cover credited to Jack Kirby and Chic Stone. The issue, "Even Avengers Can Die," sets up Baron Zemo's assault on the team using a reconstituted Masters of Evil — the Executioner, the Enchantress, the Melter, and the Black Knight — building directly into the celebrated roster shakeup of Avengers #15-16, when Captain America assembled the "Kooky Quartet." It captures the team at a pivotal narrative hinge, with Hulk's tenure ending and the classic Cap-led lineup era about to begin.
