Marvel Comics · The Avengers #65 · June 1969 · $0.12 · 20 pages
Grade: VF+ 8.5
Edited by Stan Lee. Indicia publisher: Marvel Comics Group.
Cover by John Buscema and George Klein.
The Swordsman makes his move against the Avengers in a story written by Roy Thomas and drawn by John Buscema with George Klein inks. The master swordsman puts his blade skills against the combined might of Hawkeye, Goliath, the Vision, and the Wasp. Buscema's dynamic figure work captures the clash between the villain's precision and the team's coordinated assault, while Klein's inks maintain the clean Marvel house style that defined the era.
An early Swordsman appearance as antagonist, years before his complex arc as both enemy and eventual Avenger in the Thomas run.
Condition VF+ 8.5 — Near perfection. One or two tiny ticks away from NM. A stunning addition to any high-grade run..
We use what the scientists are calling artificial intelligence to research and write our descriptions — it gives us more time to add books to our website and provide you with a wider array of inventory. We think Klaatu would approve. Details are verified but the robot does slip up. We're not infallible. Every book is graded by a human collector who has actually held it. If anything ever looks off, reach on out!
