Marvel-ous Monday: "Deadlock" by Gold, Colan, and Everett

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! Today we're looking at a cool episode of Black Widow from Amazing Adventures #4 (October 1970). Not only does it have knock-out gorgeous art by the incredible penciler/inker team of Gene Colan and Bill Everett, but it's the only Black Widow script written by the trail-blazing Mimi Gold, who enjoyed a successful career as a writer, comicbook editor, colorist, and book editor in her amazing, adventurous career (which you can read about right here when you finish reading this action-packed mini-epic!)
Cover art by John Buscema and John Verpoorten

    Boy, did Colan and Everett look good together. They brought a real voluptuousness to the Widow. Too bad it was such a short-lived collaboration.

    I'm trying to reunite this story in original art form... it could happen!
