Amazing Adventures #4 (Marvel/1971)



Amazing Adventures #4 (Marvel)

Inhumans - Stan Lee (w) Jack Kirby (a)

Black Widow - Mimi Gold (w) Gene Colan (a)

One Marvels "double feature comics this lasted only a few issues before becoming home to Killraven and War of the Worlds.  Anything by Lee & Kirby is usually worth a read and this fight between one of Iron Man's villains and the Inhumans over a sphere of great power in ancient ruins was classic Marvel action. The Mandarin of course does get beaten and Black Bolt buries the nefarious one's rings under a mountain.

Meanwhile Black Widow's more down to earth story about corruption, crime and radicals had less of an appeal only getting a thumbs up because of Gene Colan's excellent art.

These were as far as I can recall the first solo adventures of Black Widow so prices on these are bound to increase with a movie in the pipeline I'm happy with a low grade copy for a low price myself so if you want some of these the grab 'em now fanboy!

Nuff said?
