American Update: Avengers Very Finest – debuts of Grim Reaper, Ultron, Man-Ape, Yellowjacket (kind of) and more!
*Marvel: Continuing our outstanding upgrade of classic Avengers issues in high grades with no UK price stamp or overprint, we come to a range between #52 and #62, which featured the first appearance of the Grim Reaper, an epic clash (only the second ever!) between the Avengers and the X-Men, the first cameo and then full appearances of the Avengers’ robotic nemesis Ultron as he gathered the new Masters of Evil, a tragic and traumatic trip to Captain America’s past, the first appearances of Hank Pym’s schizoid alter-ego Yellowjacket, and YJ’s wedding to the wonderful Wasp, and the first appearance of the Black Panther’s foe, the murderous Man-Ape! Roy Thomas and John Buscema have never produced a finer strand of work than their team-up on the Avengers at this time, and even decades later, these stories are a joy to re-read – especially in such shiny copies! But don’t take our word for the condition – check out the selected pictures below!
