John Romita Jr and Klaus Janson did a lot of really nice work together. Here, the Avengers and X-Men team up to take on The Blob, a few Sentinels, and even a giant, tentacled sea monster! First, Spider-Woman lays a giant punch on the Blob, sinking her fist into his blubbery gut. Then, you see Ms Marvel blast some Sentinels to bits, while the other X-Men and Avengers battle the sea monster. You even get Professor X joining the fight, and Wolverine going knuckle-deep with his claws. A fun battle page by two of the greats!

Does anyone else see Harvey Kurtzman’s influence in that top panel?

Good call. I do see that, and Janson has been open that Kurtzman was one of his influences. From an interview by Dan Greenfield of Janson (and Frank Miller, too)

Klaus Janson: You know, the thing that I never get a chance to talk about are the people that came before me. My influences and the people that inspired me. The people that I stole stuff from in terms of art. Steve Ditko, Wally Wood, Neal Adams, Harvey Kurtzman, Will Eisner, all the greats. Alex Raymond, Burne Hogarth, Hal Foster.
