Newton Comics' The Avengers #8 is cover-dated 18 October 1975:
The cover was originally published on the cover of Marvel Comics' The Avengers #8:
The story contents are as follows:
Kang, the Conqueror!, originally published in The Avengers #8, September 1964
Iron Man Face Hawkeye The Marksman [In Mortal Combat with Captain America!], originally published in Tales of Suspense #58, October 1964
The first story appears to be unmodified. The second story, however...

The title is from Tales of Suspense #57, but the reprint is from Tales of Suspense #58, as are the following 5 pages.
