American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Ultron in Avengers #54/55 in High Grade
*Marvel: Leading from the Good Doctor Collection this week, we have the first cameo and full appearances of Ultron. In 1968, Ultron was introduced as the secret leader of the Masters of Evil. At first seemingly, ‘just another robot’, he became one of the Avengers’ greatest enemies, particularly when his poignant connection to Hank Pym, Goliath, was revealed, and his menace has metastasised into other media, most notably the ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ film of recent years. We have Avengers #54, in which Ultron made his first fleeting appearance, and #55, in which his full villainy was unleashed, new in for your enjoyment in lovely condition.
