And, if so, how come it feels like it was only yesterday?
It's a case of, "Rargh! Hulk smash puny spider!" And other such witty badinage, as Spidey's Canadian adventure begins.
Magneto shows up in a tale I've never found overly involving.
I had a copy of this up until a couple of years ago but don't recall anything that happened in it.
John Buscema's first issue of Conan - but with a Gil Kane cover.
I remember once copying this cover with my trusty pencil and sketchpad.
Needless to say it was an artistic triumph worthy of the Louvre.
Is this the one where everything goes all wibbly-wobbly in the park?
The Mandarin seems to have no shirt on. Well, that doesn't seem very dignified.
Hooray! Spider-Man dealt with, the Hulk takes on a classic monster.
Thundra shows up.
My razor-sharp senses tell me the Juggernaut may be involved.
They also tell me that cover looks to be an unlikely combination of Gil Kane and Werner Roth.
Is this the one where Ulik runs off and joins the circus?
Judging by the cover, I have a feeling it might not be but have no idea which story it is if it isn't.

Hooray! This is where I came in. That Iron Man was one of my first comics along with a couple of DCs. Became a Marvel child very soon after!
Dignified or not. . . when the mandarin takes his shirt of he means business!
I'm fairly sure Ulik joined the Circus of Crime around 1969-70; this looks like the rather staid Conway/Buscema/Buckler period of Thor which was basically Kirby pastiche.
I owned that Cap issue. It was many years before I realised Solarr was a drugs smuggler. The Avengers story was reprinted in the first Brit Avengers annual so it has enormous sentimental value for me.
this makes me so nostalgic. All these covers are the first american versions of the comics i possessed. i discovered a newsagent that carried the us and not the british reprints. i was ecstatic to hold what i felt was the authentic product in my mitts as opposed to the reprint imposters
Sadly, I didn't have the American versions of any of these stories. I had to rely on the Marvel UK reprints.
