Thor #143, August 1967

Volstagg is always so very Volstagg.

The Amazing Spider-Man #52, September 1967

It’s always a bit disconcerting being knocked out of Marvelverse and into the real world with talk of Flash’s service in the Vietnam War. Especially as he makes it all sound like such a lark, instead of the hellish experience it actually was.

The Amazing Spider-Man #50, July 1967

A hero’s vow renewed.

Fantastic Four #68, November 1967

Crystal provides a much-needed counter to Sue’s tendency to be a complete pushover when it comes to Reed’s sexism.

Avengers #46, November 1967

Okay, I never took Cap for a Tolkein fan.

Foggy to the rescue!

Tales to Astonish #94, August 1967

We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Tales to Astonish #98, December 1967

Probably my favourite cover so far. Gorgeous use of the limited colour palette.

Herc is finally made an official Avenger.

Avengers #45, October 1967

In which Pietro begins to sound a bit more like his usual non-goody-goody self.

Avengers King-Sized Special #1, September 1967

Avengers pin-up: Original line-up vs the 1967 gang. 

[earthsmightiesthero]

Avengers King-Sized Special #1, September 1967

Female Avengers pin-up. Not entirely sure what the deal is with Wanda’s pose, but she does look pretty hot, so I’ll forgive it.

Avengers King-Sized Special #1, September 1967

Hercules pin-up. I always feel that little skirt must become quite immodest once he’s brawling with villains.

Tales of Suspense #94, October 1967

First appearance of M.O.D.O.K.
