*Marvel: This week’s selection of Avengers from our incoming high-grade collection consists of issues between #110 and #200. The first half of this period was low or non-distributed in the UK, and is therefore proportionately rarer than in the Colonies; this selection also includes the first appearances of several characters who were to have major impact on the series and on the greater Marvel Universe: Mantis (in #112), Hellcat (in #144), Scott Lang (a cameo debut before his Ant-Man days, #181), and Taskmaster (a cameo at the close of #195, and his first full appearance in # 196). Other highlights from this creative period include the Avengers/Defenders War, the Serpent Crown Affair, the Korvac Saga, and a crossover with the then-moribund X-Men (#110). As is typical with this collection the majority are VF or better, with many NM issues and a few falling below.
