#avengers 1963

It's depressing that this comic was written in 1984 and things are still the same forty years later.

However, it also shows how big of a mistake it is to not make Wanda a mutant anymore, in my opinion. 80s Wanda >>>>

Also, Steve sketching Wanda is so sweet.

(Avengers #3 - Stan Lee, Jack Kirby)

In a complete departure from their modern MCU dynamic, Peter's first interaction with (a hologram of) Tony Stark in the classic comics is just Peter going "fuck off, I'm busy"

Also please appreciate this off-model Jack Kirby Spider-Man

are the cap's kooky quartet era of the avengers worth reading as a scarlet witch and quicksilver fan? I usually skip 60s comics because the dialogue can be a bit rough

I would recommend at least skimming it for the scenes that Wanda and Pietro are in. It's only eleven issues (Avengers #16-27) so I think it's pretty manageable. I get it, though-- for modern comic readers, Silver Age writing and art can be a challenging taste to acquire, and a lot of the characters are just very different from how we know them today. For Wanda and Pietro, most of their backstory and lore just hadn't been invented yet, and the story beats we think of as iconic or defining didn't come into play until the late 70s and 80s.

I do believe that the original X-Men run (#4-11) and the Kooky Quartet era are important to understanding their time in the Brotherhood and how they came to join the Avengers, mostly because the later retellings of that story are never very faithful. That early run of Avengers also informs a lot of the twins' experiences with being public-facing heroes and, specifically, minorities on a public-facing team like the Avengers. These comics also provide a basis for how the twins' powers would be interpreted over the next decade or so.

Nothing else truly important happens to the twins during this era, but it is also the first time we really get to see them, like, showing their personalities or having agency. It's the first time they're really allowed to be fun, although, again, that 60s writing often makes Pietro and Clint seem unlikeable from a modern perspective-- and the politics and sinophobia in certain issues are hard to get past. Issue #24 is a tough read for that reason, but it's also the one I'd recommend most-- it's Wanda and Pietro's first encounter with Doctor Doom.

So true, Jan. This is why she was the chairwoman of the Avengers.

I was doing comics on sale in July 1958, but the ones from Atlas / Marvel were kind of sad.

So I'm skipping to July 1963 for them and we have the first appearance of the Avengers. (cover date Sept. but that's not when it came out, that's when the newsstands could return the publication for a refund.)

Other Marvel Comics on the stands with it that July were.

The Avengers were first made up of Thor, Ant Man, Wasp, Iron Man and technically the Hulk, though they were created to stop the Hulk (in 1# due to a plot by Loki, 2# where Hulk was posessed by an alien, and 3# & 4# where the Hulk joined forces with Namor against them). They first appeared in Avengers 1#, cover date of September, 1963, and were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The issue also introduced Willie Bishop who is a member of Rick Jones' Teen Brigade.
