American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Avengers #29-33
*Marvel: Five quality consecutive issues of Avengers from the Good Doctor Collection this week, representative of a really good period for everyone’s favourite Assemblers. Cap’s Kooky Quartet became his Snazzy Six after the addition of Goliath and the Wasp in the previous issue, followed here by a three part adventure which started out with an encounter with the Black Widow, the Swordsman and the original Power Man and morphed into a struggle with some esoteric types from a lost land. Then, in #32 and #33, the Sons of the Serpent were introduced, a KKK type bunch of bigots; #32 also featured the first appearance of Bill Foster, who would become Black Goliath many years later. More Black Widow here too in her classic fishnet and swimsuit look that never made it into the movies. All issues in really nice, superior grades.
