The Birth of the Vision and other Roy Thomas Masterpieces By Stephen Vincent Kempton This Epic Collection features some wonderful stories from the Roy Thomas's very fertile imagination . 450 pages of some of the best Avengers tales ever told . In crisp white paper with vibrant colors this book lovingly reproduces Avengers #57 to Avengers #76 , plus the Black Knight solo story from Marvel Superheroes #17. Twenty one comics from the years 1968 to 1970.The writing is all Roy Thomas . Stan's right hand man had broke out of his shell and was producing better work then his creative boss. Art wise we have some very polished work by John Buscema and Gene Colan. Two veterans at the top of their game. Also included is some very early work from Barry Smith and Sal Buscema. Plus a one shot story from two Golden Age artists Frank Giacoia and Howard Purcell.This Epic Collection was timed to coincide with the Avengers second movie, and in fact the day I came home from the movie the box containing this volume was on my door step. I was very excited to re-read this introduction to the Vision.Avengers #57 and Avengers #58 break down as single stories each with having their own endings but combined they give you a fuller introduction to the Vision. In the first book Ultron creates the Vision , and the Avengers defeat Utron. In the second story the Avengers consider the ramifications of accepting The Vision as a member.For these two stories and the next one John Buscema is beautifully inked by George Klein. Klein was a Golden Age artist who did much early Timely Comic work before heading to DC in 1955. He became one of DC's mainstays inking a lot of Curt Swan and Superman Family books. In 1968 not yet Editor-in-chief Carmine Infantino was instructed to fire some of old dead wood and bring in fresh talent. Klein was fired with six others including Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel. Stan gave Klein work for the remainder of his career.The next story in Avengers #59 and #60 is almost as famous as the first one . It introduces Yellowjacket and the wedding of Janet and Hank. Mickey Demeo who inked the second part was Mike Esposito under an alias.Avengers #61 is a single issue story which not only brings back inker George Klein but The Black Knight and guest star Doctor Strange in his full face mask costume.Avengers #62 is another classic story which focus on The Black Panther and introduces his new nemesis The Man-Ape.Avengers#63 and #64 is yet another famous yarn in which Clint Barton becomes the focus of the story when Clint uses Hank Pym's growth serum and becomes Goliath. Old Ant-Man foe Egghead shows up and we meet Clint's brother. Gene Colan starts his brief three issue run.In Avengers #65 the man who trained Hawkeye , The Swordsman returns. More great Gene Colan art.In Avengers #66 through #68 Ultron returns becoming an even a bigger and badder menace. The first two issues are done by a very young Barry Smith who's early art very much emulates Jack Kirby style with a touch of Steranko thrown in. Avengers #67 was one of George Klein's final jobs as he died shortly after. In #68 Sal Buscema makes his Avengers penciling debut. At this point Sal had only done one other penciling job for Marvel a Gunhawks story for Marvel's Western anthology. Despite this, his work here looks very polished. I don't know if John Buscema actually pitched in or if Sal who was inking his big brother on Silver Surfer just absorbed all his style.Avengers #69 through #71 is a three parter which brings back Kang and ads an important new villain called The Grandmaster. The two engage in a battle of cosmic chess when in the first two issues the Avengers battle the Squadron Sinister. The Sinister Squadron are analogs for DC's Justice League. The Squadron Sinister then begot The Squadron Supreme , which became lasting heroes in the Marvel Mythology. In the final part of the story The Avengers must then fight an early version of the Invaders.In Avengers #71 and #72 they battle Scorpio and His Zodiac Crew, who have been threatening Nick Fury. Nick , Rick Jones and Captain Marvel quest star. #72 concludes Sal's first Avengers assignment.Avengers #73 and #74 focuses on The Black Panther and The Sons the Serpent return in a story about race relations. Frank Giacoia draws the first part and John Buscema returns as regular artist for second part. The story features some heavy handed politics.Starting with Issue #74 John Buscema is paired with his perfect partner Tom Palmer. Palmer's fine line and cross hatching just made the art "pop".The final two part story Avengers #75 and #76 introduces Arkon , a Sword and Sorcery Hero who serves as a test run for Roy's run on Conan a half a year later. The Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver also return in this very entertaining story. I kind of like the romance between Wanda and Arkon.The book closes with the Black Knight story from Marvel Superheroes #17. The reprint book at the time featured a new lead story every issue in a pilot type way like DC's Showcase. Howard Purcell produces some rather bland art for Roy's uninspired tale.Extras for this volume are a pair of unused covers and some original art.With the possible exception of Black Knight tale , this is some of Roy's best and most creative work. I had read many of these stories as an 11 and 12 year old boy and I am happy to say I found them just as entertaining today.My Highest Recommendation.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. First Appearances of the Vision, Yellowjacket and more! By Dan Pace (feral atom) Collects Avengers 57-76 and Marvel Superhoeres 17, starring the Black Knight. Extras are a bit sparse but include two original unpublished covers, King-size #3 cover and four pages of original art, as well as a photo of John Buscema holding pencil art for #58 splash page from '68 St Louis Gateway Con.This stretch includes many of Roy Thomas' best issues during his fantastic run on Avengers. Here, he's partnering with John Buscema (57-62, 74-76), Gene Colan (63-65), Barry Windsor-Smith (66, 67), our Pal Sal Buscema (68-72), Frank Giacoia in a rare penciling opportunity (73). This is a great stretch of art, plots and writing.Talk about a collection of firsts:- The Vision- Yellowjacket- Man-ape, frequent adversary of Black Panther- Clint Barton (Hawkeye) as Goliath for the first time- Ultron in indestructible adamantium- The Justice League (homage/knockoff) Squadron Sinister- Grandmaster- The Invaders (pre-Invaders, but the three big heroes from the 40s together in the Silver Age for the first time)- Zodiac Cartel- ArkonWhat a creative explosion on this title!We also get several Black Panther-focused issues and the return of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch to the Avengers.There are two great Ultron multi-part stories here. An Avenger gets a surprise wedding, complete with the typical bad guy wedding crashers. We get a multi-part Kang storyline, and Sons of the Serpent storyline grappling with racism.This is a fantastic run of Avengers issues and, while the movies don't pull verbatim from these stories, it's still interesting to see the initial takes on these plotlines and characters that are now or soon will be part of the MCU. The Epic format is a great-looking, affordable format to collect these classic stories in a 456-page paperback that's easy to hold and easy on the eyes. Thankfully Marvel went back to the semi-gloss paper. Highly recommended!
