1960's Avengers!

[rsonenthal]

I've been looking for a nice example of Big John Buscema's Avengers in the 60's, and I found it! Take a look at the cover to Avengers #62, "The Monarch and the Man Ape".

Feel free to take a look around while you're visiting.

Personally, I think it is a great cover ! But it features the Black Panther so how can you go wrong. If you look at my gallery on CAF, you will see I am a bit of a Black Panther fan

Ron when you were looking around to pick up a Buscema Avengers covers, how difficult was it ? With Mandel having such a large amount of them and a few others in permanent homes, i would have thought that the demand far exceeds the supply.

Congratulations Ron.

It's a fantastic cover. I always thought George Klein's inks during this time period were actually better than Tom Palmer's.

 

The cover was offered to me several years ago and might actually have some minor restoration to it as it looks "cleaner" than what I remember. It's a great example of Buscema's work on the Avengers.

 

The only reason why I passed was the Black Panther wasn't a character I normally collect. So obviously I won't be competing with "Batman Fan" who collects Black Panther artwork. .

 

Anyway, it's a great cover by a great artist. (thumbs u

 

Cheers!

better than Palmer??? :o

 

thank god I don't have to worry about competing with you on the Panther art ! (thumbs u

 

I actually never set out to collect the Black Panther, but many fond memories from my childhood associated with him so somehow he just keeps ending up in my collection.

I have to agree with NelsonAl on that one, I have always loved that cover, cool piece to own.

I'd put Palmer over Klein -- but what control over the brush Klein demonstrates in this piece!
