*Marvel: Marvel took a pretty brave step with the first major line-up change in the Avengers, recounted in issues #15-17. All the original members left: Thor, Iron Man and Giant-Man and the Wasp, leaving Captain America to lead a team of replacements comprised of erstwhile villains Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. It was a gamble which paid off, as far as this commentator is concerned, with the best ever period for the Avengers following on. Issue #15 tells of the last battle of the original Avengers against Baron Zemo; issue #16 features the line-up change, and issue #17 has the new team on the track of trying to recruit the one other original member, the Hulk, but finding only the Minotaur.
