Set Description:
This set is a complete set of 65 books, which has topped the census for four years. The set contains all the same books as our #1-#100 set so I won’t repeat the set description here.

Both Avengers and X-Men made their first appearance in Marvel comics the same month in September 1963. Unfortunately, I am old enough to remember well the excitement I had at finding two new Marvel superhero comics to purchase at the local drugstore. I still have both copies, neither is worth submitting to CGC, as I was not the smartest little kid when it came to preservation.
As for the issue itself, the Avengers, composed then of original members Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, Ant-Man and the Wasp, face off with Thor’s brother Loki, the God of Mischief. (Why is Ant-Man hyphenated by Marvel and Iron Man not?) One thing I have always found rather funny, and which is arguably a mistake by Marvel, is that Loki says on the cover “The Avengers, bah, I’ll destroy you all”. In fact, it was not until after Loki was defeated and captured in Issue #1 that the group agreed they had worked well together and should be formalized as a team. The Wasp suggested the name "Avengers", and Earth's Mightiest Heroes were officially born. So since the Avengers did not even exist as a group during the confrontation with Loki, how did Loki know to call them by a name that the Wasp had not yet suggested?
Also, the Avengers’ stated purpose is to protect and safeguard the world from both domestic and extraterrestrial threats. Finding strength in union, they uphold their tradition to overcome menaces a single individual could not withstand, which draws into question the decision for the inaugural foe to be just Loki, who Thor often battled. It just doesn’t seem like Loki was a big-enough baddie to warrant the formation of a new team?
But putting all that aside, the Avengers went on to be one of Marvel’s greatest hits and the heroes in four of the ten biggest box-office movies of all time. We did own a 9.6 copy of this issue, which is one of six 9.6s topping the census. It was our included example in this set when we claimed to have an 9.6/9.8 run, which was technically correct. But unfortunately, that 9.6 was also trimmed. If anyone actually ever reads my descriptions, which are a work in progress and chronicle my experiences as a collector, you will see a recurring theme of first Marvel issues being high grade purple labels. (My DC keys are usually unrestored, but then they are generally much cheaper.) I personally think that the market punishes such issues too much, they look the same as a universal grade, but cost a tiny fraction as much. That difference has accelerated as time goes by as well.
In this case, our 9.6 was far and away the best restored one available and the only restored copy above 9.2 in the census. The book hails from the Second City Collection and was acquired in the 6/11/2018 ComicConnect auction. It replaced a Stan Lee signed restored 9.2 in our collection.
Then in May 2024 we acquired an unrestored 9.4 copy of Issue #1 to replace our restored 9.6. I cannot say that acquisition was planned, but in our regular effort to put in relatively low auction bids on certain high-grade unrestored keys in the hope of one of them falling into our hands, we picked up the book in the May CL Auction. The acquisition came just a month after our failed effort to acquire an unrestored 9.6 #1 in Heritage’s April 2024 Auction-in which, quite frankly, we weren’t even close. I do feel pretty good about the price, as the book has vibrant colors and is perfectly centered bearing a QES sticker. And we obtained the book at less than 30% of the of the hammer price of the aforementioned 9.6, while enjoying better page quality and a better spine than that book, despite its lower grade.
But the price paid still represents one of the highest prices we have ever paid for a book and we certainly had not expected to get it at the time. In fact, the acquisition knocked us out of bidding on several books we were targeting, so, all in all, it was a little bit of a mixed bag. Prior to acquiring the book, our concentration had been on finishing more sets, not upgrading completed ones; however, on the bright side, I feel the book really elevates this set to the level of our best Marvel sets, even if the price paid delays our efforts to complete a few other sets for a year or so.

Issue #2 features the first appearance of the Space Phantom and the exit of the Hulk, who did not play well with others-he obviously lasted much longer in the movie Avengers than the original books. This is one of our favorite Avengers covers-I actually prefer it to #1 just based on the art. We have previously owned a 9.0, a 9.4, a 9.6 and now, finally, after many years of chasing one, we finally landed a 9.8.
This issue opens with Ant-Man revealing his new form Giant-Man to the team and Hulk and Thor arguing. The story is centered around an alien who can assume the appearance of other beings that tries to destroy the Avengers from within so that his race may invade Earth. The Space Phantom assumes the appearance of the Hulk and fights Iron Man and Thor. As the Space Phantom Hulk is leaving Rick Jones runs into him and realizes that he is a fake Hulk: however, when the real Hulk returns the Avengers begin assaulting him. Rick Jones is able to tell Giant-Man and Wasp about the Space Phantom, but not before the alien assumes the form of a wasp and attacks Janet. The Space Phantom Later takes on the form of Giant-Man and eventually Iron Man when all of the Avengers finally come together to fight him. After the fight Hulk leaves the Avengers because they have really hurt his feelings with their constant poor treatment of him. Truly only young Rick Jones understands the monster.
This issue is by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and is inked by Dick Ayers on the cover and Paul Reinman on the interior. It is from September of 63 and is a classic example of prime early Marvel. I find the issue very self aware and even post-modern for it's time: the internal conflicts between the characters open and close the plot and continuity between books is very realistic. The idea that a superhero team has just formed and is already losing members is a big contrast to the DC teams up until then that only seem to add heroes and this really is the foundation for the "super heroes in the real world" idea and also reflects the 60's pop culture boom of Byronic stars with big personalities.
Our WP copy comes from the Federal Hill Collection and is one of five highest graded. We acquired it in the 12/1/2020 CL auction.

Issue #3 features the first Sub-Mariner and Hulk team-up. They would later share Tales To Astonish, as Hulk first joins that book, splitting time with Giant-Man, in issue #60-he actually spars with Giant-Man in a TTA #59, reminiscent of TOS #58 with Iron Man and Cap America. Sub-Mariner would later replace Giant-Man in that run in TTA #70.
This issue picks up the threads of issue #2 and opens with the Avengers concerned about the Hulk and the potential threat he poses. Iron Man contacts the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-men to ask if they have any leads on the Hulk to no avail. Thor contacts Rick Jones to ask for his help finding the Hulk, prompting him to set off into the desert in search. He eventually finds Hulk in a cave from a previous issue of the Hulk series where they use a machine to revert the Hulk back into Banner. Restless sleep causes Banner to transform back into the Hulk later that night, and RIck calls in the Avengers for assistance. The Hulk and Avengers fight briefly, but Hulk escapes on a train heading towards the coast where he is taken onto a ship.
Namor watches this from a distances and then confronts the Hulk suggesting they form a partnership against humanity since it had wronged them both. The duo challenge the Avengers at the Rock of Gibraltar but when the Hulk converts back to Banner mid battle Namor makes an escape after being outmatched. This issue plays into the early marvel continuity where each week builds on long term character drama, the first three issue cover a sort of Hulk arc, which is an early example of the longform subplots marvel would continue to develop.
The issue we own is one of nine, in total, 9.6s with none higher, but it is the sole Signature Series copy and thus probably will hold that distinction forever. We acquired the book in the 9/6/2011 CL auction at which time 9.6s were extremely rare.

Issue #4, “Captain America Lives Again!" is clearly one of the best covers and most important issues within the entire run of Avengers. With the releases of the Avengers movie, newbies to the hobby as well as serious long-time Silver Age comic book collectors, have driven up the prices of high-grade copies. The importance of Avengers #4 cannot be overstated. This key issue introduced Captain America, Steve Rogers, to Silver Age Marvel comic book readers. Captain America, who first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 in 1941, was one of the most popular heroes of the Golden Age but drifted into obscurity by the middle 1950s. He was reintroduced in this issue to the baby boomer generation by one of his creators, Jack Kirby, as he joins the recently formed Avengers as a key member of the team (he would soon become their leader). Captain America soon became a major player in Marvel's Silver Age and was again awarded a series carrying his own name in 1968.
Based on all off the foregoing, Issue #4 is generally regarded as the second most important and expensive issue in this set. We previously owned a very nice 9.6, but traded it when we were short of cash to land a coveted, and much rarer-if arguably less valuable-book in another set. The pictured 9.4 is one we have owned for many years and held after acquiring our 9.6 because of the double signatures of Stan Lee and Joe Simon, which makes it unique. The book also hails from the famous Northland Pedigree Collection and is, and should forever be, the highest graded Signature Series copy. We acquired the book in the 9/10/2013 CL auction.

Issue 5 features appearances by Hulk and the Lava Men. Our 9.8 comes from the Curator Pedigree Collection and is the single highest graded copy of this issue. Considered one of the best Silver Age collections ever discovered, the Curator boasts an Avengers #1 in 9.4, an Amazing Spider-Man #1 in 9.8, an X-men #1 in 9.8 and a Tales of Suspense #47 in 9.9, among many others. The collection began in the late '50s and continued into the '80s, its condition peaking in 1962. They were amassed by an employee of a museum (hence the name), who stored the comics in tight packs on the museum's premises. John Hauser acquired most of them in the '90s but sold many without a pedigree identification. As a result some copies have lost their pedigree as the books do not have any distinctive markings.
You do not see nearly as many Curator Pedigree books on the market as you do Pacific Coasts. I have heard that Tom Brulato owns many of them, but having never seen his collection, I cannot verify that info. I believe we have more Avengers from that pedigree than any other title we collect.

Avengers #6, in which the Avengers face Baron Zemo and his Masters of Evil is one of the easiest early books to find in high grade, as there are nine 9.8s in the census as of June 2020. We acquired our copy on 4/21/2015 from Pedigree Comics.
2024 Update: And now there are ten 9.8s of Issue #6. I really have no explanation as to why there are so many more 9.8s of this issue than any other early Avengers, as there’s only a single 9.8 of Issue #7 and Issue #8 (or, for that matter, why CGC accords this issue more registry points that Issues #5 and #7, even though it is far more common). It reminds me a little of JLA #2, where there are far more 9.6s than any other early JLA issues-along with the first 9.8 until Issue #8. At any rate, don’t overpay for this one, the 9.8s are out there.

Issue #7 features a great action cover with Thor highlighted along with appearances by Baron Zemo, the Enchantress and the Executioner. Our 9.8 is quite special in that it’s the sole 9.8 ever graded by CGC with just four 9.6s next in line. We acquired the book in the 2/22/2018 Heritage Auction*. In my mind, it is one of the highlights of this set, the colors are really stunning.

Issue #8 features the first appearance of Kang the Conqueror. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the Conqueror is most frequently depicted as an opponent of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. A time-traveler, several alternate versions of Kang have appeared throughout Marvel Comics titles over the years, such as Rama-Tut, Immortus, Scarlet Centurion, Victor Timely, Iron Lad, and Mister Gryphon.
Kang the Conqueror has been described as one of Marvel's most notable and powerful villains. Kang has made media appearances in animated television and video games. He made his feature film debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe film Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in 2023), in which he was portrayed by Jonathan Majors, who also played alternate versions of the character in the Loki series.
Of course, no comic book character enters the MCU without a few tweaks, and the big screen version of Kang was reimagined as a threat that existed in every universe of the Multiverse and threatened to collapse all of existence into an unimaginably destructive war unless he was somehow stopped.
Since his Ant-Man cinematic debut, Jonathan Majors was arrested in New York City on charges of assault, strangulation, and harassment charges and later convicted of third-degree reckless assault as well as harassment. While Majors avoided jail time, he was ordered to attend a 52-week-long domestic violence intervention program. Unsurprisingly, Disney fired the actor in December 2023, presumably to avoid tarnishing the family-friendly image of Marvel Studios.
However, it appears that Marvel still intends to utilize Kang as a character, even without Jonathan Majors. It helps that Kang, as a Multiversal entity, is uniquely suited to be recast with another actor with minimal explanation as to how the character changed, and speculation has been rampant of who could replace Majors.
BTW, while this is considered a Marvel key as the first appearance of Kang the Conqueror, while going by another name, it seems his first appearance in any Marvel comic was a year earlier as Rama Tut in FF #19.
Our 9.6 is tied for second highest graded, bested by four 9.8s, two of which have come to the market lately, but sold at dear prices. As recently as 2020, you could pick-up a 9.8 copy of Issue #8 for about $15,000-Pedigree Comics had one available at that price, which we thought at the time was overpriced LOL. But I guess spurred by the info that Kang was going to be the next big baddie to appear in the MCU, prices of this issue skyrocket with a 9.6 selling for $21,600 in 2022.
We acquired our WP 9.6 from the 3/14/2017 CL Auction, which cost us around $5k at the time, showing again how cinematic appearances can affect prices of issues where villains make their first appearance.

Issue #9 features the first appearance of Wonder Man, Simon Williams. Baron Zemo, Enchantress and Executioner also make appearances in this issue.
In the story, Simon Williams is the son of rich industrialist Sanford Williams, owner of Williams Innovations. Simon inherits the munitions factory after his father's death, but the company's profits fall due to its biggest competitor Tony Stark and his company Stark Industries. On the advice of his brother Eric, Simon tries to embezzle funds from his company, but is caught and incarcerated. Simon blames Stark for this and accepts the proposition of master villain Baron Heinrich Zemo after the Enchantress pays his bail, as a pawn is required to infiltrate the Avengers. The desperate Simon Williams agrees and is transformed into an ion-powered superhuman. His powers are tested, and he is shown to have great superhuman strength and durability, even defeating the Executioner. Called Wonder Man by Zemo, he is then sent to meet and join the Avengers, with instructions to betray them at a critical moment so that Zemo's Masters of Evil can destroy the Avengers.
Zemo ensures Wonder Man's loyalty by advising him that as a result of the treatment his body now requires periodic doses of a serum to survive—a serum that only Zemo can provide. The Avengers are lured into a trap and captured. The plan fails when Wonder Man decides to save the Avengers and aid them against Zemo.
It looked at the time as though Wonder Man would go down as a fairly insignificant character as he appears to die in the conclusion of the issue, although Hank Pym records Wonder Man's brain patterns in the hope that one day he can be revived. Four years later, Issue #58 revisited the events of Issue #9, and it is discovered that Wonder Man's body has simply entered a catatonic state as it adjusts to the effects of the treatment. Eric Williams becomes distraught over the apparent death of his sibling and, blaming the Avengers, assumes the identity of the Grim Reaper in an effort to destroy them. The Grim Reaper steals Simon's body at one point, and attacks the Avengers three times before Wonder Man finally returns.
Wonder Man remains in suspended animation for years, and it is during this period that Ultron, the evil robot creation of Hank Pym, steals the brain patterns recorded by the Avengers for use as a template for the synthezoid Vision. It is later revealed that Vision is built from the original Human Torch, an android created by Professor Phineas Horton. This only happened in mainstream continuity and other origins were possible due to the Forever Crystal of Immortus.
During this vulnerable time, Wonder Man is used as a pawn on three occasions. Wonder Man's body is revived by the villain Kang in Avengers Issues #131-132, and then again by the Black Talon in Avengers Issue #152, and finally by the Living Laser in Avengers Annual #6. After this encounter, Wonder Man was restored to true life and chooses to remain with the Avengers (Issue #160) aiding them against Attuma and Doctor Doom. He also fought Vision, and helped the Avengers battle Graviton. He soon after defeats the Grim Reaper, who was intent on destroying Vision as he was "artificial" and a "mockery" of his brother; Wonder Man at this point is revealed to have become a being of ionic energy.
Issue #9 is a tough issue to find in high grade, with only a single copy ever graded higher than our 9.6 by CGC. We acquired our WP copy in the 11/20/2014 Heritage Auction.

Issue #10 features the first appearance of Immortus, along with appearances by Baron Zemo, the Enchantress and the Executioner. Immortus is a somewhat complicated character, as at some point in his personal timeline, Pharaoh Rama-Tut (formerly known as Kang) became weary of battle due to frustration and the loss of his son Marcus and consort Ravonna in several timelines. He was approached by the alien Time-Keepers—time travelers from the end of the universe, the last living creatures in existence—to become their agent, preserving timelines rather than conquering them in exchange for immortality. He accepted and reinvented himself again, this time as Immortus, the lord of the other-dimensional realm of Limbo.
In the story, Immortus appears before the Masters of Evil, wanting to ally himself with them. At first, Zemo is distrusting and offended that Immortus thinks himself superior to them. Zemo sends Executioner to battle Immortus, but Immortus sends Paul Bunyan in his stead to fight. After a quick skirmish, They agree to unite on one condition: to destroy the Avengers. He places a newspaper ad offering superpowers to civilians. Seeking membership in the Avengers, Rick Jones falls for the trap. Captain America finds the ad and goes to the location.
Immortus tells Captain America that one of the other Avengers sent Rick here. Cap goes back to HQ to find the traitor and takes them all back to Immortus. Immortus pits each Avenger to a character picked out of time that is similar to them. Giant-Man is first, and his opponent is the biblical Goliath. At first, Goliath easily outmatches Giant-Man in terms of strength, but Giant-Man uses intelligence. He shrinks to the size of an ant, and using himself as the ball, hits Goliath in the forehead, defeating him much as David did before. Iron Man is next. He fights the Wizard Merlin. Merlin traps Iron Man in a cage of tempered steel, leading Iron Man to remark that if he wins the battle, he'll never complain about enemies such as the Mandarin or Hawkeye, ever again.
Iron Man easily breaks free, and dodges Merlin's thunderbolts. He uses a device that produces flashing lights and irritating sounds, which disorients the much older Merlin, causing him to faint. Immortus sends out Hercules to battle the Mighty Thor. Surprisingly, the fight is evenly-matched, until Hercules breaks the standstill, grappling with Thor. Thor tries to imbalance Hercules, who falls out a window. Thor catches him, and Hercules yields to the Thunder God.
Immortus, not wanting to take any more chances, grabs Captain America and sends him back into time to save Rick. The other Avengers are attacked by the Masters of Evil while they are weakened. Iron Man is attacked by Executioner, Giant-Man is shrunk down to normal size and left in a confused state by the Enchantress, and Thor gets shot by a gun which turns flesh into stone.
As the battle ensues, Wasp aids Giant-Man by trying to confuse Enchantress. Iron Man trades blows with Executioner, and Thor starts getting turned into solid stone, helpless. With Iron Man's repulsors destroyed, Giant-Man normal-sized, Wasp unable to confuse Enchantress, and Thor helpless, Baron Zemo gloats and prolongs his final shot to Thor, wanting to savor the moment. A familiar voice protests, and a spinning shield destroys Zemo's gun. Captain America aids fellow Avenger Iron Man against Executioner. As Executioner is downed by Cap's shield, Wasp distracts Enchantress enough that her spell wears off, returning Giant-Man to his giant size. Thor yells, "Avengers Assemble!" after breaking free of his rock imprisonment, and at the last instant, Enchantress sends herself, Zemo and Executioner back in time, to a time before they met Immortus.
Our WP 9.8 comes from the Pacific Coast Collection. Considered the greatest Silver Age collection to ever surface, the Pacific Coast collection was brought to market by Robert Roter after he discovered portions of it for sale on eBay in 1999. The books were marketed through PCE over the next several years and contained over 7,000 comics and magazines that included Marvel, DC, and Gold Key among others, covering a time span between 1961 and 1977. Many of the highest graded Marvel and DC issues from the early '60s hail from this collection with exceptional page quality. The books do not exhibit any distinguishing markings.
Our book is naturally tied for highest graded. We acquired it from the Heritage Exchange in November 2022.

Issue #11 features A Spider-Man cross-over and is one of the favorite early Avengers covers. When we acquired this one, it was just the second 9.8 certified by CGC, so we paid a pretty penny. Unfortunately, as of 5/2020, now there are three. Still, our copy emanates from the heralded Northland Pedigree Collection, which does set it apart. Considered one of the best Silver Age pedigree collections to ever surface, it included runs of primarily Marvel and DC, as well as Gold Key, Dell, ACG, and Charlton, among others. Michael Goldman purchased the collection in 1996, where it debuted for sale at the Chicago convention that same year. He continued to sell copies through his catalog over the next several years. The Northland collection is known for its exceptional paper quality and particularly high grades during the scarcer period of Marvel between 1961 and 1964. Although the books do not have any identifying marks, a certificate was included with each copy.

There are actually three 9.8s in the census, but I have always found it hard to break the bank to acquire a 9.8 when we have the PC 9.6-although I did just do so twice with respect to our Aquaman set. Still, if the opportunity arises and the price is right, we shall see. In the meantime, we acquired our book in the March 2018 ComicConnect auction.
