Description

Here is a 1st appearance page of the Grim Reaper in action...from Avengers #52.

I love how each panel shows him using his scythe in different ways: to fly, spin and deflect arrows, and to fire blasts.
Cool to see the Avengers in action on this page as they encounter the Reaper for the very first time.

Historic Silver Age 1st appearance pages are so hard to get now. I am lucky to have scored this page in auction many years ago.
