DescriptionIt was mid 1974 and as a 10 year old this was the 6th Avengers issue I bought off the spinner rack. As I get grayer I find these earlier memories all the sweeter. Some of my favorite covers of all time are from Avengers 121 thru 141, This being one of the covers I loved I decided it was time to buy one. It is always tough to sell other covers and art but to buy this gem it is worth it.Here was ComicConnect's write up: This piece, created by a pair of native Brooklynites, Ron Wilson and John Romita, is a classic mid-70's Avengers cover, featuring some of the team's most-popular characters in a dramatic confrontation with Mantis, a Vietnamese superhero created during the latter days of that war. Her intriguing backstory involves the Kree, who trained her to become a Celestial Madonna of some sort. They then erased her mind and returned her to her war-torn homeland where she met the Swordsman, who introduced her to the Avengers. Here she is shown in a stand-off with Iron Man, Thor, Vision, Scarlet Witch, and Black Panther, as she defends Libra, a member of the sinister Zodiac Cartel, who had recently revealed himself to be her biological father, and you know how important that can be to a girl.

Nice pick-up! And one of the few covers to really feature Mantis.
