Description

November 1972, Amazing Adventures #15, Page #1 Splash, Tom Sutton pencils/Frank Giacoia inks, "Murder in Mid-Air!", "The Coming of ... The Griffin!", 1st Appearance of blue-fur Beast. 1st appearance of the Griffin.
This Bronze Age splash shows the Beast bleeding and injured showing up at the house of Patsy Walker, who becomes Hellcat in Avengers #141 three years later, and falls into her arms.
The Beast solo run which began in issue #11 was one of the first comic book series I ever read. Nostalgia rules here.
A great story written by the incomparable Steve Englehart in his 1st credited writing role for a comic title. He took over the writing chores with Amazing Adventures #12. This series was his first credited writing assignments for Marvel.
He had written two stories before this for Warren's black & white horror magazines. Then he wrote two Marvel romance stories, a Sgt Fury story(97), Iron Man story (45), and a Hulk story (152) for Marvel, but all under pseudonyms.
Steve Englehart left the series with AA #17 and moved on to Captain America, with issue #153, which started his historic run on that title and made Cap, which was a comic about to be cancelled, into Marvel's #1 selling title.

Amazing that Steve Englehart had planned out the introduction of Patsy Walker three years before using her in the Avengers.
