Following the excellent response I got from reviewing the seemingly quite unpopular Secret Wars II I'm going to show that I've learned nothing by immediately going back to dismantling classics and fan favourites by casting my baleful eye over Avengers #6.

Avengers #1

1963 brought many things that would have a long reaching effect on the world: The Beatles' rise to international fame, the assassination of JFK, the first transmission of an odd little educational sci-fi programme called Doctor Who... but surely none of these things could be as stupendous as the coming together of Earth's mightiest super-heroes?

Tales to Astonish #44 - Ant-Man and the The Wasp

And so it is that we come to the first female super hero sworn about by this blog: The Wasp. And based on having already read some early Avengers titles (of which #1 will be sworn about next week) I can be reasonably sure my credulity will be mightily challenged.

Tales to Astonish #27 - The Man in the Ant Hill
