True Believers: What If the Avengers Had Fought Evil During the 1950s?

Marvel’s 2018 one-shot reimagines a classic 1970s What If? premise, transplanting the Avengers into the paranoia of the 1950s. Scripted by original What If? architects Don Glut and Roy Thomas, with period-evoking art by Alan Kupperberg and Bill Black, it explores how a Cold War-era team might have formed and fought. A nostalgic, self-contained curiosity from the True Believers reprint line, it nods to Marvel’s Silver Age roots while offering a standalone alternate-history snapshot.
