Description

Assembled for your pleasure, is a 1965-1975 Marvel The Avengers issues #20-140 near-complete run (120/121), plus Annuals #1-5 complete run (5). That's right, here's your chase to skip a lot of hunting and gathering, and go right for the kill, to knock out a full decade's worth of early Avengers adventures. The only issue absent from this run, is #57 with the first appearance of Vision, which can be found in this current auction as a single graded comic. Condition is generally favorable, ranging 70% Fn to Vf-Nm, 20% Vg to Vg-Fn, 10% Gd to Gd-Vg. As is to be expected, the earliest issues generally show the most wear, and condition rises through the timeline.
