Can't help wondering if it was some kind of inventory that had been lying around and worked into the story by Englehart, or...?<br /><br />cheers<br />B Smith<br /><br />Can I just say I find the "50 years ago" covers quite interesting, and the "40 years ago" ones a bit depressing - it was 40 years ago!!

Although, admittedly, that isn't too difficult when those artists - Romita, Kane, Smith and the Buscema brothers - have such distinctive styles.Gey Blabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08574046212154188903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-43580383199004212882012-12-04T00:02:01.931+00:002012-12-04T00:02:01.931+00:00Ah memories I vividly remember picking up the Aven...Ah memories I vividly remember picking up the Avengers (106) and X-Men (79) comics. I loved the Avengers issue as it had lots of other hero references and I think it may have been the first time I saw the Vision in a US comic (it also had a Cap America , Bucky and Hydra flashback along with Rick Jones becoming Capt Marvel in one panel - again the first time I remember seeing Marvels version of Capt Marvel ) great fanboy stuff - the villains were indeed the Space Phantom and Grim Reaper (think there was another villian lurking also_ The X-Men comic I remember buying for the cover but from memory Im pretty sure it was reprint from the 60s - McSCOTTYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-62798872979866887822012-12-03T23:46:46.313+00:002012-12-03T23:46:46.313+00:00Count yourself fortunate for not having to wade th...Count yourself fortunate for not having to wade through the Black Lama's tedious "war of the super-villains."
