Description
OMG!!! Check out this massive Marvel masterpiece! It's a twice-up Silver Age cover with an image area of 13.25 by 21.5", every inch jam-packed with eye-popping Avengers action. In one enthralling scene, you've got Goliath battling Hawkeye and the Scarlet Witch while Quicksilver gets blasted by Diablo. Add in headshots of Hercules and Dragon Man and you have a veritable smorgasbord of Avengers goodness. A classic twice-up cover masterfully penciled by John Buscema and artfully inked by George Bell (Roussos).

Where do you get this stuff? While some (ahem) collectors have to work so hard just to find a crappy Darkstars page, you post an early issue first run classic Buscema Avengers cover! This is killing me. Congratulations on a well-assembled acquisition!

For some reason, the Scarlet Witch really draws my interest on this cover.  But all the characters are beautifully drawn, and this is an AMAZING piece.  So jealous!

Even this early on the run, John Buscema displays all the talent that will soon make them add Big to his name, and rightfully so...

Superb layout! The anxiety on Wanda's face is fabulous. (If only she knew how much more powerful she was than everyone else on the page.) Stunning cover!
