Owner's Description
Issue #43 features the first appearance by the Red Guardian, Alexei Shostakov. Quicksilver demonstrates his newfound ability to fly and Captain America has to prove himself to a skeptical Hercules before he will take orders from him. Cap easily wins Hercules' admiration in a duel.
Sometime later, while most of the Avengers are away from the mansion, Hawkeye gets information about the Black Widow's whereabouts. Anxious to help her, Hawkeye cannot wait for his fellow Avengers to return. He sets out to rescue her immediately, with only Hercules in tow.
Meanwhile, Colonel Ling shows a general his newest asset: The Red Guardian. He has been trained and conditioned to be the equal of Captain America in every way but to stand for communism.
Hercules and Hawkeye invade Ling's base. Hercules is lured into the Psychotron. Hawkeye is captured by the Red Guardian, who is dramatically revealed to be the Black Widow's husband whom she thought was dead. Meanwhile, back in the States, the Avengers learn about Hawkeye's rescue mission and depart to rescue their compatriots.
This book is actually the third 9.6 we have have owned of this issue. It comes from the Curator and Collection and is tied for second highest graded, trailing a single 9.8. Hailing from the Second City Collection, this copy was acquired in the 6/11/2018 ComicConnect Auction.
