1982 - Avengers House Ad

Grabbed from Iron Man Annual #5:

  1. I remember this ad. It is a pity Captain Marvel never recovered after the Stern Run. She had really had potential, to become a heroine like Storm, thanks to Machio and Simonson that is not the case.

  2. Agreed. Stern had developed such a wonderful arc for her that stretched over several years to really have her become a leader. After Stern left, there didn't seem to be much interest in the character which is a pity.

  3. Actually, Monica is receiving another "comeback" opportunity, of sorts, in the 2013 "Mighty Avengers" title, along with Luke Cage and the White Tiger. I bought the first issue, but it wasn't very good. CM has straightened her hair, and changed her name (again!) to Spectrum.

  5. Such a cool house ad--- I really liked the design "fonts" for THOR and IRON MAN (with rivets!).back then (early 80s, the good ole days.)

    That would be a pretty sweet line-up, right there. Hey MARVEL!, wake up and lets get a classic Avengers line-up again!
