Ultron 1 0

[JohnFranklin]

Does anyone recall which book contained the first appearance of Ultron 1?  The first appearance was after Avengers #54 and I read the comic it was in, just can't remember the issue although I am sure it was a post #54 issue.  The pic included here I lifted from "Rage of Ultron" (2015)

Thanks for any input...

Issue 58?

I remember it being Buscema art, before Ultron’s return in the BWS issues.

I am back on my Ultron kick..trying to remember the Avengers issue where the kid finds Ultron's head, takes it and puts on the TV.....Am I remembering that right or did I over do it during the 70's?

I do not recommend keeping Ultron's head around for a decoration.

I remember it being a kid finding Ultron's head lying in an empty lot or field and kicking it like a tin can, then leaving it there among the other debris.  A famous poem was captioned to provide the narration for the sequence.

I don't remember Ultron's head being put on a T.V. in issue 57.   Mebbe a later issue?

You're right about that -- it's the epilogue to #57, where the kid finds Ultron's head and the entire sequence of him kicking it around is narrated by Shelley's sonnet, "Ozymandius".  Very cool page.

I thought at some point someone takes the head home and ends up on a TV?  Now I am not sure....where is Mr. Aldred when you need him

Looks like West Coast Avengers #7 (1986)

From Avengers #58, the first Ultron...

Thanks....so I do have some memory left....

Ultron's a cool villain.

Actually, Roy Thomas and John Buscema created some pretty neat characters on their initial run in issues 41-62.

The Red Guardian, the Grim Reaper, Ultron, the Vision, Yellowjacket, and the Man-Ape.  Not bad.  Back when The House of Ideas really was the house of ideas.

anyone got a pic of the Perez Ultronmobile?

Yup.  Avengers had coasted for a long time before Thomas started writing. 

And, Buscema's art was great, especially when inked by Klein or Palmer.

I've never read that issue.

Interesting TV decoration, though.

Well, according to Overstreet you would be correct in saying that Avengers #54 has the first appearance of Ultron since he appears in 1 panel only.  

Overstreet clearly states that Avengers 55 is the first full appearance of Ultron.  

Clearly remember this as there was a ton of hype and speculation on this particular issue here several years ago, before it came crashing back down to Earth.
