Rascally Roy went on to do a long run of All-Star Squadron featuring DC's golden oldies.<br /><br />I wish that they had stuck with Whizzer and Miss America as the parents of Wanda and Pietro.Chuck Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04529750105224374839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335503008445056721.post-69537295860647574752012-07-17T05:57:13.862-07:002012-07-17T05:57:13.862-07:00I remember picking this up on the newstand back in...I remember picking this up on the newstand back in '74, and I still think it's one of the best Bronze covers ever. I didn't think much of the art inside, but the cover's a KILLER. Great Thor depiction, excellent setup of characters, not too busy.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3335503008445056721.post-20298282563924033562012-07-13T11:34:42.551-07:002012-07-13T11:34:42.551-07:00I recently noticed that the plot is very similar t...I recently noticed that the plot is very similar to the Sandman/Sandy story in JLA 113.

Personally I really liked the parts of the tale that dealt with Wanda and Pietro's origin. The Nuklo storyline didn't do too much for me, mostly because I wasn't grabbed by the art. I seem to recall it being done by Rich Buckler doing his Jack Kirby impersonation.Steve Does Comicshttp://stevedoescomics.blogspot.co.uk/2010/08/avengers-annual-1977-better-late-than.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
