One of the most important silver age Marvel covers ever printed — the debut of Kang the Conqueror, one of the Avengers’ greatest villains and a cornerstone of the Marvel Universe! The cover crackles with pure silver age energy — at the right: Kang dominates — an imposing figure in his classic green and purple armour — massive and armoured — one gauntleted arm raised — deploying a wall of golden disc-shaped energy blasters — dozens of them arranged in a dense rectangular grid — each one firing outward in a sunburst pattern. To the left: the full classic Avengers lineup charges into battle — Iron Man in his golden armour firing repulsor blasts — Thor in blue and silver with Mjolnir flying — the Wasp tiny and darting — Captain America with his shield raised — a fifth Avenger at the rear — all of them slamming into Kang’s energy wall in a chaotic melee of blasts and deflections. Two classic silver age caption boxes flank the scene: “Can you think of any one man whose power is greater than that of the Avengers? Don’t answer that… not until you meet…” and “This is KANG — destined to rank as one of the most unique villains of all time!! And wait till you learn his surprising identity!!!” THE AVENGERS in the iconic red masthead above. SEE: The Mighty Avengers… Trapped! — See: The Teen Brigade in Action! — Action! Drama! Thrills! banner at the bottom. An absolute cornerstone of Marvel history.
A must-have for Avengers collectors, Kang the Conqueror fans, and silver age Marvel key issue hunters. The facsimile edition faithfully reproduces this landmark first appearance. Light wear, good shape.
