The cover art was done by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, with the internal storylines written by Stan Lee, pencilled by Kirby and Ayers, coloured by Stan Goldberg, and lettered by Sam Rosen.

Backstory:

Loki, having been previously captured by Thor, is being held prisoner in Asgard. His physical form may be confined there, but by means of thought projection his disembodied self travels to Earth in search of revenge. He spots Thor in his human identity of Dr. Donald Blake, and after happening across the Hulk, he devises a wicked plan to entice Blake to transform into Thor and frame the Hulk.

Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp pursue the Hulk, as Thor, having figured out Loki's involvement returns to earth with Loki to clear Hulk's name. Loki makes himself radioactive forcing the heroes to retreat, but stands over a trapdoor which Ant-Man triggers, dropping him into a lead-lined tank.

Upon celebrating their victory, Ant-Man and the Wasp point out how well they could work as a team, and that they should work together in the future. The Wasp suggests they should call themselves the Avengers, and everybody agrees.

'And there came a day, a day unlike any other, when Earth's mightiest heroes found themselves united against a common threat! On that day, the Avengers were born, to fight the foes no single super hero could withstand!'
