*Marvel: The Black Knight has a long and distinguished history at Marvel. Originally, a heroic knight at the court of King Arthur in the Atlas series of the 1950s, the name was revived in the Silver Age, first as the villainous foe of Giant-Man, and later as the new Black Knight (Dane Whitman) in the Avengers and elsewhere in the Marvel Universe (both US & UK). Interest in the character has recently peaked with the announcement of the Black Knight’s debut in Marvel’s Cinematic Universe. Avengers #48 features the first full appearance of the Dane Whitman Black Knight (Dane Whitman himself having appeared in #47) and our latest copy is a decent mid-grade pence stamped example with only minor edge wear and tight staples, with unmarred cover scene and a tiny crease across the extremity of the bottom right corner. Good page quality and it’s one of those copies which is printed slightly off centre so that a very small piece of the cover image is shown along the spine edge of the back cover. This brings it to a very affordable VG+.
