Avengers 1959 #[nn]

Howard Chaykin — writer, artist, and cover creator all in one — takes Marvel's spy-thriller concept back to the Cold War era with this five-part saga set in 1959. The cover assembles a sharp ensemble of five figures: a masked blonde woman in pink wielding a pistol, a one-eyed man in black with a firearm, a dark-haired woman in a black bodysuit mid-kick, a square-jawed man with a rifle, a brooding bearded figure, and a crouching feral-looking character — all radiating the cool, dangerous energy of mid-century espionage. It's a compelling case for what the Marvel universe looked like before the age of superheroes fully dawned.
