One of my favorite battles - almost 50 years old! - in the early days of the “All-New, All-Different X-Men”. 😁 The Juggernaut is so cool. He can be beaten but not stopped. Happy Throwback Thursday!

Marvel Fanfare stories usually had very little long-term consequences for characters. But they certainly had some great art back in the day. 🎨 Happy Throwback Thursday!

Love this ad for West Coast Avengers and a Vision / Scarlet Witch mini series. 😃 They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. Happy Throwback Thursday!

Marvel house ad for The West Coast Avengers and The Vision and the Scarlet Witch Limited Series. In 1985, the House of Ideas did a great of job weaving together the Timely Comics era with the modern Marvel age in an epic saga that ran in the pages of these two titles.
