DEFENDERS (1972) #26

When young Vance Astro meets his 31st self, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy has some explaining to do! Continued from Giant-Size Defenders #5 . Valkyrie and Jack Norris continue to discuss their relationship. Norriss still believes her to be his wife, and Val continues to stiff-arm him, saying she is a completely different person. Jack, like Hawkeye in issue 9, randomly decides to kiss her without her consent, believing that’s the best way to make her like him. She warns him off (and unlike the situation with Hawkeye, doesn’t decide she likes it after all, but in fact continues to not be a fan of being kissed without being asked).… Notes: The cover is a homage of the cover of All-Star Comics #6 .
