*Marvel: A captivating quintet of keys and debuts from the pages of Marvel’s Avengers, beginning with #43, premiering the Red Guardian – the Black Widow’s not-quite-dead super-hubby, soon to be an antagonist in Tasha’s solo flick. Issue #48 saw the debut of Dane Whitman (who’d made a non-costumed cameo the previous issue) as the super-heroic version of the Black Knight, soon to be the star of his own media adaptation with ‘Game of Thrones’ Kit Harington in the lead. Issues #54 and #55 present the first cameo and full appearances, respectively, of Ultron, the murderous robotic ‘offspring’ of Hank Pym who has threatened the Avengers countless times on the printed pages and the silver screen; and issue #62 brings us M’Baku, the Man-Ape, a softer and somewhat cuddlier version of whom appeared in the Black Panther and Avengers movies. Full details on all, of course, in our online catalogue.
