American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts! Four key issues of Avengers – 1st ‘Full Ultron’, Panther origin, 1st cameo Mantis and 1st Hellcat
*Marvel: Spanning a decade, these four issues of the Avengers feature highlights in the lengthy career of Marvel’s Mightiest Team. Issue #55 gave us the first full appearance of Ultron, the mechanical menace who would become a nemesis of the team; #87 explored, for the first time at any length, the origin of the African Avenger known as the Black Panther; #112 featured the first, albeit fleeting, glimpse of the mysterious Mantis and #144 bought us the reinvention of former ‘funny girl’ Patsy Walker as the happy-go-lucky Hellcat! These are all presentable mid-grade copies, with no individual flaws not covered by the general grading.
