Amazing Adventures #7 (Marvel Comics)
Gerry Conway (w) Neal Adams (a) (Inhumans) Don Heck (a) (Black Widow)
One of Marvel's "double feature" comics, this early run had tales of the Inhumans comics and the Black Widow. A winning duo one would have thought but unlike their more famous predecessors suffered from being bi-monthly so changed content quite a few times
That aside I actually liked this comic though when it first came out was less enamoured with the Black Widow strip because I didn't think her stories were strong enough to keep my attention and given my limited pocket money abandoned this title. Of course now I'm older my tastes have changed and I have softened in old age to enjoy her stories.
Both stories of course are continued from the previous issue or issues which means I'm gonna have to invest in a couple of more comics because the Inhumans adventure An Evenings Wait for Death looks good. Neal Adam's art helps!
Medusa, Triton Karnak and Gorgon are searching for Black Bolt who presumably has lost his memory. They wake up on a beach and get in an unecessary fight with Chinese soldiers before miraculously finding a craft hidden in a cliff in the exact spot they have landed in. Suspends disbelief and off they journey to the USA.
Landing on a beach the intrepid Inhumans fight a group of muscle bound bozo's who don't lik their private beach being invaded. You can figure for yourself how that goes for them.
Black Bolt is currently being kidnapped by what turns out to be some kind of Black Power/Communist cell who want to use Black Bolt as a weapon.
In Sting of the Widow Natasha, the Black Widow muses on the death of some youth from the last issue and ignores her faithful sidekick Ivan on return to her flat. The villain she seeks and confronts is the Astrologer. However revenge is not always sweet.
