BHOC: MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION #41

Despite the fact that I was still not buying AVENGERS at this time, I did continue to pick up MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION, the AVENGERS reprint title, whenever it would show up at my 7-11 comic book headquarters. This reflects the fact that, even from an early age, I had a preference for the comics of … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION #41

Having edited AVENGERS for far longer than anyone else, it's all pretty relevant to me--back in the day, when Stan Lee would facetiously talk about … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION #39
