Description

Sal Buscema brings us a fantastic panel page featuring an over the top Man-Ape (M’Baku) defeating Black Panther and threatening the entire Avengers team. (Spoiler alert — he’s about to introduce us to the entire original Lethal Legion for the first time on the very next page.)

This issue is from mid 1970 — a classic period, as the Silver Age ends and the Bonze Age begins — and if I couldn’t find the monthly issue of Avengers at my local candy store, I would hunt it down somewhere.

That, by the way, happened frequently. (Did your comics newsstand care which issues actually came in or sold out? I don’t think mine did.)

My obsession was a great way to get some exercise.

T'Challa loves his hot toys statues and with the wealth of Wakanda, he has the whole set of Avengers! Sal with Palmer is a special run as they worked to make Avengers lore so much more expansive in these issues.

I remember being really inspired by those wonderful little statues! What I wouldn't have given for some cool Avengers merchandise at age 10!! Conratulations, beautiful page.
