American Update: Avengers #57: Behold… the Vision!
*Marvel: A significant latecomer to the Silver Marvel Age was the coming of the enigmatic synthezoid, the Vision, who 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 1940’s, Roy Thomas’ love affair with all things Golden Age stood him in good stead, as the Vision captured the hearts and minds of readers worldwide… though the exquisite art by John Buscema doubtless didn’t hurt! This copy is GD/VG p at £60, clean and sound, tight staples, good interior pages, unbroken cover colour and gloss, with only the smallest of chips – a ‘micro-chip’ – in the corner cover masthead preventing a higher grade. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
