*Marvel: In almost the final stretch of our “Assembling the Avengers” event, we have the complete run from #101-200, including many low- or non-distributed issues, as this is around the time when – thank you, Marvel UK – distribution started to go horribly wrong. This is the eras when the second generation of Marvel scribes – Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart having the stewardship of most of this run – stretched out into to longer, more complex sagas, including the Avengers/Defenders War, the Korvac Saga, the Celestial Madonna, and  the Serpent Crown Saga. New characters introduced included Mantis, Hellcat, Jocasta and Scott Lang (later the second Ant-Man) and, on the villainous side of the fence, Graviton and Taskmaster.  In the high grade emblematic of this acquisition, and surprisingly hard to find, these are some of the most fondly remembered Avengers storylines. Coming soon: the final instalment of this wonderful collection featuring Annuals and Giant-Size issues.
