Conan & Subby as well! I especially loved thatb 50's Cap storyline & the Nomad one. Colan, John Romita SR & Sal Buscema did some fantastic Capt.America issues!Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-89098764194005472172011-01-02T10:28:40.781-05:002011-01-02T10:28:40.781-05:00cerebus660: I agree--the Hulk sitting under the tr...cerebus660: I agree--the Hulk sitting under the tree in the shadows does an excellent job characterizing him, as does Wanda's stance (and expression) as she watches The Vision speak. That is one smitten and star-crossed lady! <br /><br />Oh, if you want to read those stories on the cheap, Avengers Vol. 3, #48 reprints 98-100 in one of those 100 Page Monsters. (Marvel used to do such cool stuff...)<br /><br />Mike, as usual, I am in complete agreement with ya, man. The late 90-early 100 issues of Spidey, early 100s of the FF, 80s-early 100s of the Avengers, 130s-150s on Cap--I "cut my comicbook teeth" on those. They'll always be my faves.The Groovy Agenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466541479854942040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-86550334098294454452011-01-02T09:09:29.544-05:002011-01-02T09:09:29.544-05:00Happy Belated New Year Groovster!

Inking by Sal Buscema & my good friend "Jolt'in" Joe Sinnott! Avengers #100 is one of my all time favorite comics ever!<br /><br />Right up there wiith Amazing Spider-Man #100-#102, #103-#180's, FF #102-#112. That was my Golden age to me. I could still kick myself. I had the chance to buy one of the pages from Avengers #99. Where Hercules is being beaten down by two giants or a two head giant in a flashback sequence.Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-18096299416201863192011-01-02T05:34:48.293-05:002011-01-02T05:34:48.293-05:00Wonderful artwork!

I love the way the Hulk is sitting under the tree, brooding - that says more about his character than any of Roy's words.<br /><br />It's interesting to see the different inkers at work here. Sal Buscema is as slick as ever, while Tom Sutton seems a strange fit for Smith's pencils.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this with us, Groove! I really need to save up and buy these issues :-)Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.com
