*Marvel: A significant latecomer to the Silver Marvel Age, the enigmatic synthezoid, the Vision premiered in Avengers #57 as a villainous pawn of the evil Ultron. Rapidly being discovered to be misguided, he was offered membership the next issue, in one of the most rapid reforms ever, and became a mainstay of the Avengers and the MU in general, particularly through his convoluted relationship with the Scarlet Witch. Based on a Simon & Kirby character from the 1940s, Roy Thomas’ love affair with all things Golden Age stood him in good stead, as the ‘new’ Vision of the Silver Age captured the hearts and minds of readers worldwide… though the exquisite art by John Buscema doubtless didn’t hurt! This copy of Vizh’s first appearance is a GD-; structurally sound, but the cover has been nibbled at by some bygone rodent, leaving a narrow strip on the right edge from the middle to the base gnawed away. Oddly, this doesn’t impinge on the actual cover image at all, and the interiors are sound and unmarred. So, a chance to get a key issue at a reasonably low price: GD- cents £35. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
