Doing this cover brought back good memories of Avengers Annual #7 and Marvel Two In One Annual #2, featuring Earth's Mightiest Heroes battling Thanos alongside The Thing and Spider-Man.

I love the classic Avengers with the Beast before cat phases, Vision with original body, Wanda pre-mad phase, etc. Adam Strange makes so much sense in a star spanning epic story.

ReplyDelete@Carycomic: Close...but no cigar.
ReplyDeleteWhich raises the question; with air pollution laws being what they are, do they even still offer cigars, as prizes, for ringing the high bell at carnivals?
