Avengers #172(June 1978)

And thus began the longtime feud between Gyrich and Hawkeye.

  1. Although in no way shape or form know anything about the avengers, BUT, I will comment on an artistic level. It's amazing how much the art has changed in comics. I'm also amazed at this being in your collection of comics. :)

    And being a DC fan, looking at the panel with Thor, Iron Man and the other two I see Red Tornado, Manhunter, Beast Boy and Supes. Lol.

    I'm just being random. Lol.

  3. Yeah, looking back at some of these older comics I have, it's really obvious how much the art(and dialogue)has changed over the years Falisha! As for my collection, sometimes even I'M surprised by some of the books I have! It's crazy!

    The writer(and interestingly the editor as well)for this comic was Jim Shooter, Nagash. You've got to wonder how the same guy can write AND edit a comic... Oh, and another big difference between then and now is the fact that there are only 5 names listed for the creative staff for this comic as opposed to the 11 listed for Siege: Spider-Man(which I just pulled out at random).

  5. Close, it was writer/editor, breakdowns, finished art, lettering and coloring.

    Yeah, I guess that's a good point, but for something as big as the Avengers, I'd think you'd want another pair of eyes checking out the work before it gets printed. I mean, if you write a garbage story and you're the writer and the editor, who's going to tell you it's garbage!
