THOR E CAPITAN AMERICA EDITORIALE CORNO
ALBO ORIGINALE DEL 1978
dopo un periodo di forzata inattività in cui non potevano nemmeno fare le multe per divieto di sosta e senza neanche che fosse concessa loro una misera scappatoia rescissoria come esodati, i reintegrati VENDICATORI tornano in servizio sulle pagine di questo giornalino a vigilare sull’ ordine e sulla sicurezza mondiale (ma soprattutto su quella americana che viene prima di tutto, gli altri insomma devono anche sapersi arrangiare un po’ da soli) e ci rinfrescano anche la memoria con una bella reprise rievocativa delle loro origini
contiene inoltre : GLI INVASORI (riprendono gli episodi da dove erano stati lasciati in sospeso sulla cessata pubblicazione di CAPITAN AMERICA che tra l’ altro è presente come obsoleto protagonista in queste storie riferite al periodo bellico dove si battono per sderenare l’ assetto ad Hitler e ai suoi alleati dell’ asse) e I CAMPIONI (anch’essi impegnati contro l’inesauribile onda lunga del nazismo tanto per cambiare ancora vivo, vegeto ed attivo ai giorni nostri incubato nella folle e perversa mente del derelitto e nostalgico scienziato reduce Von Meyer)
CONDIZIONI : MOLTO BUONE, LIEVI CALCHI SULLA FIGURA DI IRON MAN IN COPERTINA, L’ ALBO NON E’ DI BUSTA
GRANDISSIMA DISPONIBILITA’ DI TUTTI I SUPEREROI CORNO E NON

Synopsis
Yellowjacket and Wasp have returned from the hospital and have
arrived to find a large crowd and the media at the front door of
Avengers Mansion. Confronted by the news, they learn that the Avengers
have just announced that they are finally going to decide who will be
part of the next line up, something that Jan is thankful that they are
finally getting around to it before being admitted into the Mansion by
Jarvis.
As news coverage recounts the illustriousness origin of the
Avengers, Hank and Jan meet with the rest of the group in deciding which
members will stay and if Beast, Moondragon and Hellcat have what it
takes to be part of the new roster of Avengers. Thor announces that he
has decided to leave the group for a time feeling that he needs to focus
on more godly affairs. When Iron Man decides to stay on with the group,
Thor passes on chairmanship of the group onto the Golden Avenger.
The news report then recounts how the Hulk left the group early
on, how Captain America was revived and brought into the group, their
battle against the Masters of Evil and Wonder Man and their short
involvement with teenager Rick Jones. When the report recalls back as to
the first time the Avengers changed their roster, it leaves to
speculation how the group was formed.
What follows in this issue is a recap of the events from Avengers #16….(in Italy in THC # 24)
Iron Man, Wasp and Giant-Man consider who to choose for the new
group when they are confronted by Hawkeye, a former foe of Iron Man who
wishes to join the group and redeem himself. They next attempt to
contact the Sub-Mariner and offer him membership in the group, but Namor
refuses.
When the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver read about the Avengers
looking for new members, they decide to travel to America and petition
for membership in hopes of redeeming their past with the Brotherhood of
Evil Mutants. While Stateside, Iron Man announces the departure of
Giant-Man and Wasp from the group and announces Hawkeye’s joining the
group. As the Avengers sort through their mail, Captain America and Rick
Jones are battling through the jungles of South America trying to find a
way home following Cap’s battle with Baron Zemo. They rescue a man from
a leopard attack and he offers to drive them to the nearest seaport.
Back in the States, Tony Stark meets with Quicksilver and Scarlet
Witch and takes them to Avengers Mansion to “meet” Iron Man (whom
neither know is in reality, Tony Stark himself.) When Captain America
and Rick Jones finally arrive home they come to a large press conference
that is about to begin. Entering the room Captain America learns that
Iron Man, Giant-Man and Wasp all intend on leaving the group and they
are placing the new recruits: Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet
Witch into Cap’s leadership. Although Captain America is uneasy about
the idea and accepts the responsibility. Shortly thereafter, Cap and the
new Avengers present themselves to the world.

finding and extricating Gold’s brother.
