DESCRIPTION
Pg. 9; Don Heck pencils, Frank Giacoia inks; 13.5" x 21.25"
Captain America, Hawkeye, Giant-Man and The Scarlet WitchFeaturing a whole slew of Avengers, this page is an excellent example of the Silver Age. Riveting exposition gives way to incredibly realized action via this masterful, original comic art. From storytelling to line work, this page showcases many of the elements that made the title and Marvel comic books unique in the medium.
Take note of the bottom right of the page where Quicksilver shows off his spectacular talents, Don Heck, once again, displays his inventive technique that drags the reader into the moment. The masterfully depicted illustrations lend themselves to some wonderfully written dialogue, which is simply oozing with the personality of all of the characters on the page. This scene plays out like a storyboard from a Tarantino film with nearly every panel filled with characters fans still cherish to this day, making this piece a "must have" for those who hold The Mighty Avengers close to heart.
