Fifty years ago this month - February 1968.

February 1968 was an exciting month for all lovers of standing on one leg and playing the flute, because it was the month in which Jethro Tull played live for the very first time.

I confess it's not the most compelling news of all time but I do feel it's noteworthy, purely because there aren't many bands named after 18th Century agriculturalists.

The Scarlet Witch headbutts a bullet at the United Nations and suddenly she and Quicksilver are on the side of evil again. Honestly, I wish they'd make their minds up. I've heard of being indecisive but, really.

If I remember right, this results in the team being reduced to just three members, only one of whom (the Wasp) has any super-powers. When your most powerful member is the Wasp, you know you're in trouble.

Doctor Doom unfurls his brilliant plan to defeat the Fantastic Four by swapping bodies with Daredevil, in order to stand in for him and take the FF by surprise.

Sadly, he neglects to tell his flunkies of this plan, thus allowing Daredevil to become unchallenged monarch of Latveria. Is he sure he's a genius?

Then again, while in Daredevil's body, he  somehow fails to notice that he's blind.

Then again, on that cover, Daredevil is hitting metal armour, with his bare hands. This isn't exactly a battle of the Einsteins, is it?

I have read this tale on more than one occasion but all I can recall of it is that the Fantastic Four are present, an android belonging to the Mad Thinker is present, and there's a fight.

Still, it does at least feature Sizzling Big Action...

I suspect that this tale may have been only the second time I ever encountered Ka-Zar. The first having been his earliest meeting with the Hulk.

At this point, I was still blissfully unaware that he's just some bloke running around without a shirt on and that any Marvel super-hero you can name could flatten him with barely an effort.

Regardless, I nonetheless thrilled at the sight of everyone's favourite wall-crawler tackling the king of the hidden jungle.

I'm not sure if I've read this one or not.

Apparently, it features a villain with a metal claw who then gets an entire suit of armour that he can fight people with, which is nice for him.

I'm now waiting for Daredevil to show up and try punching it.

I assume this is the one in which a fake Baron Zemo wants to zap the Earth, with the assistance of an evil space satellite.

It does seem a strange thing that someone would want to pretend to be Baron Zemo, bearing in mind that his distinguishing trait is having a paper bag super-glued to his face.

Meanwhile, Sharon Carter is pretending to be a ruthless, evil hitwoman, and the Black Panther's getting involved, in defence of his realm. A sequence of events that I believe leads to the Panther joining the Avengers.

It's probably my favourite Marie Severin drawn Hulk tale, as the Puppet Master gets the two powerhouses to battle it out in Florida.

I think that reading this tale may have been where I first discovered the existence of Florida.

You can never say comics aren't educational.

Stripped of his godly powers by Odin (just for a change),  Thor gets a good bashing from a man with a crowbar.

Not that I care. If my memories are correct, it all leads to Hela showing up, which is always a good thing.

Unless you've just been beaten up with a crowbar. In which case, it's probably a bad thing.

The Sub-Human vaguely rings a bell but I don't know why.
