 Rating:  - Very goodI have not read it yet but I lend it to a friend of mine that said that it was one of the best purchases Rating: - B/W reprints of Avengers #69-97This volume collects issues #69-97 of Marvel Comics' Avengers series that were originally published between October 1969 and March 1972. This also includes Incredible Hulk #140 which pairs with Avengers #88. Most issues feature the team of artist John Buscema and writer Roy Thomas. Sal Buscema pencils a few issues during his brother's tenure and takes over by #87. Neal Adams starts his run in #93. The first three issues feature the team of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Goliath, Yellowjacket, ...

But if you love classic Marvel Super-Heroes, and love to see them exceptionally well drawn, then this book is a MUST-HAVE. Sal Buscema is competent, but the stars here are Squeal Adams and, my fave and TOTALLY underrated, the one-and-only ... Read More Rating: - The Earth-Skrull War in this one makes it worth readingWhen the Avengers started off they were not just Marvel's answer to the Justice League of America, they were a place to toss half of the characters that were sharing space in some of the company's titles. So you had Captain America and Iron Man from "Tales of Suspense," Giant Man & the Wasp along with the Hulk from "Tales to Astonish," and you might as well toss Thor from "Journey Into Mystery" into the mix as well. Of course, the Hulk was gone by the time Captain America showed up, and those began the revolving ... Read More
