Description

I'm a HUGE fan of Ed Hannigan's covers from the '80's! And who doesn't love John Byrne! I have a Marvel Two-In-One cover by Ed Hannigan and Walt Simonson inks, and have been looking at this cover on Mike's site for a long time, and decided to save up to buy it. With the excitement of the GREAT WandaVision series, it felt that if I didn't pull the trigger now, it would be gone sooner than later.

From Mike: "Very nice 1983 BRONZE AGE MARVEL Cover, which was penciled by the great Ed Hannigan, and inked by the iconic John Byrne, from the story titled: "...And Much to Ponder Before Dawn" This nice cover features a nice HUGE Spider-Man head image and a great full body Vision image! The original 1983 logo area was created on an acetate overlay where an actual fully drawn image of Confucius as a half man / Half Android is drawn on the board under the corner box art. (Confucius is part of this story, and this extra image can be seen in the extra red links above) BRONZE AGE Marvel Super hero covers are getting increasingly hard to find, so don't miss out on a great opportunity here to own a nice Bronze Age 1983 JOHN BYRNE INKED superhero cover!"

Synopsis for "...And Much to Ponder Before the Dawn..."
It's 2 AM in Leonia, New Jersey, and the Vision is gazing out the window of the bedroom he shares with his wife, the Scarlet Witch. He feels something calling out to him and for a moment he thinks about rousing his wife from her sleep but decides against it and ventures off alone. He is drawn to an abandoned town of Ponder, New Hampshire, he enters a building and finds it stacked with bookshelves from wall-to-wall. Using his phasing powers, the Vision sinks into the floor and discovers a high tech laboratory below. No sooner has he arrived when a massive android creature comes smashing through the wall. It attacks the Vision, who tries his best to defend it.

Eight miles away, just outside of the town of Rain, New Hampshire, Daily Bugle reporter Andrew Paucholito and photographer Peter Parker are heading into town. Tired, Peter asks what is so important that it couldn't wait until morning. Andrew explains that the town of Rain has been terrorized by a knife-wielding serial killer, and since he is close to retirement he wants to get one last scoop before the end of his career. Andrew takes Peter into the local sheriff's office where they meet his old friend, Officer Bob Rubens. Bob shows them the man they have arrested, whom they believe is responsible for the killings. Bob explains that this man is a drifter who wandered into town. When they picked him up, he was carrying a bloody knife in his hand. Paucholito finds this story suspicious and finds the man in the cell familiar. While nobody is looking, Peter manages to snap a photo of the alleged killer with a hidden camera. That's when Sheriff Frame comes in and demands to know why Bob is showing their prisoner to civilians. Frame recognizes the pair as reporters and kicks them out of his office. As they leave, Andrew tells Peter that he has been covering murder stories for so long that he has a hunch that the man in the cell is innocent of any crimes.

Back in Ponder, the Vision finds it hard to believe that he is standing before the legendary writer Mark Twain. "Twain" sets the Vision's confusion aside by explaining that he is not the famous writer, but an android. Twain is then joined by his android brothers based off great thinkers of the world: William Shakespear, Confucious, Abraham Lincoln, and Socrates. Mark Twain explains that these androids put their great minds together in order to summon the Vision to them.

Back in town, the man in the cell suddenly gets up and breaks out of and easily knocks the guard aside. While at the local hotel, Peter suggests that they get the photos back to the Daily Bugle so they can make the morning edition. However, Andrew isn't ready to leave ju
