American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Avengers #21 & #22, #26 & #27
*Marvel: Two marvelous two-parters from Cap’s Kooky Quartet in the Good Doctor releases this week. In that excellent spell when the Avengers were Cap, Quicksilver, the Scarlet Witch and Hawkeye, four of the best issues ever. In #21 & #22, they come up against the threat of Power Man and the Enchantress. Power Man was created by Zemo’s machinery used earlier to create Wonder Man. Don Heck’s pencils had never looked so graceful as when inked by the wondrous Wally Wood, who lent and extra air of glamour to the Scarlet Witch and the Enchantress. #26 and #27 re-introduced the Wasp, and featured the menace of Attuma and his plans to flood the Earth. All nice copies.
