| Trivia | - * This issue was dedicated to the Canadian rock band Rush, who later arranged to meet Kraft and Slifer at a show. The Red Rajah and his plot echo elements of their 1976 album with its Red Star Federation and emphasis on the individual struggling against an oppressive collective.

| Synopsis | - Valkyrie, Red Guardian, and Hellcat try their best to battle the Red Rajah, however Rajah's mystical might proves too powerful for them and they are forced to retreat. As Jack Norriss continues to flee his pursuers, Rajah takes control over Nighthawk, Power Man and the Hulk, and the female Defenders enlist the aid of Clea in combating their magical foe.
Returning to the battle, Val, Red Guardian and Hellcat are forced to fight their comrades, as Clea battles Red Rajah. Learning that Rajah is really Dr. Strange under the control of the Star of Capistan, Clea uses her magical power to free Strange who then destroys the jewel, freeing everyone under it's control. After the battle the heroes return to Dr. Strange's Sanctum where Strange informs the group that he must leave the Defenders.
