Avengers Issue 44 Page 3 by John Buscema, Vince Colletta, Roy Thomas, and Stan Lee

Fantasic pick up of the a thrilling Silver Age Avengers half splash!   Marvel lore is beloved and continue to influence generations to come.

Thank you! Technically speaking (glasses push up nose) it may be a 3/4ths splash, but those helpless bystanders are about to get the full splash from the Psychotron!

"An impressive display, as I will be the first to admit!"  (Although he does raise a good point about its military applications... :) )  Most sincere congratulations are in order, Doctor!  I, too, benefited from a friend's incredible generosity in the form of a life-changing stack of Silver Age Marvel treasure when I was young (in which I had 'Avengers' #s 43 and 45, but NOT 44!  I should've dropped by for an afternoon of reading! :) ), and I can only imagine what it would be like to get a beloved page from even one of those books!  And talk about CLASSIC: Big John had just started his run on 'Avengers' three issues previously (in #41) and Red Guardian had first appeared in the previous issue.  I can absolutely see how the beautiful textured inking on that bottom 2/3 splash would cement this into the neural pathways of (and maybe provide a foundation for, at that age?) a budding monster/horror artist.  This is a stunning piece, and worthy of its obvious place of honor in your awesome collection.  Heartfelt congrats, Dr. F!

That's a great page to love. You have good taste. 

Thanks, Alex!

Awesome acquisition, love the page and backstory. Congratulations!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Dave!
