11" x 17" reimagining of the cover to Avengers # 141
- All art with no logoes, numbers, etc.
- Same costumes for all characters with the exception that Iron Man has no "nose"
Coincidentally, the first issue of THE AVENGERS I bought new off the
stands, back in 1975. Really interesting looking at this issue. The
potential George had is there, albeit somewhat buried under Colleta's
inks -- but what's most enlightening is to see just how far George went.
Starting out, he was almost instantly a fan favorite, yet he was not
content to rest on his laurels (as we have seen with so many artists who
came along since). He kept working, kept pushing, and earned himself a
place as not only a fan fave, but one of the best in the biz. Sadly, not
always the same thing!

Dan Slott Talks Mighty Avengers

Dan Slott and Khoi Pham's "Mighty Avengers" run begins in January
|
When Marvel announced at last month’s Diamond Retailers Summit that
Brian Michel Bendis would be leaving “Mighty Avengers,” speculation was
rampant as to who would replace him. When it was announced at the
Baltimore Comic-Con that Dan Slott would be the new writer starting in
January, fans of the “Avengers: The Initiative” and “Amazing
Spider-Man” scribe jumped for joy.
AVENGERS #141 (Nov 1975)
In a way few can match, Dan Slott is intimately familiar with nearly every corner of the Marvel Universe,
and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone with more appreciation for
Avengers legacy and lore. But while Slott can’t talk about the new
team’s roster or the Marvel Universe’s status quo book following Secret Invasion
he was happy to sit down with CBR News to talk about about his favorite
Avengers stories, what the team means to him, and why this book just
might be the one to smooth the ruffled feathers of those fans who have
been unhappy with the departure from Avengers tradition seen since
2004’s “Avengers Disassembled.”

What Avengers team did you grow up with?
One of the first issues I ever bought with my own hard-earned
dough was “Avengers” #141, with one of the first appearances of the
Squadron Supreme. In the next issue, they were hanging out with the
Two-Gun Kid. So it was [writer Steve] Engleheart and [artist] George
Perez [on the title]. This is around “Serpent Crown” and I was there
all the way through #200, where you had the stuff with Ms. Marvel and
Immortus and you had guys like [artist] John Byrne and [writer Roger]
Stern [on the title]. One of the first issues I ever bought was when
Hellcat joined the team, the cover where she’s jumping at you.
