[CENTER]The mutant [COLOR="#B22222"]Scarlet Witch[/COLOR] and the synthezoid [COLOR="#FF0000"]Vision[/COLOR] first met in [I][COLOR="#0000FF"]The Avengers #75[/COLOR][/I], and the pair soon became close.
Their first kiss happened in [I][COLOR="#0000FF"]issue #91[/COLOR][/I] when they were losing a pretty bad fight to Ronan the Accuser,
and they confessed their love for one another eight issues later.
In coming up with the seemingly unlikely pairing, Thomas said in a magazine interview:
[I][B]“I felt that a romance of some sort would help the character development in [I][COLOR="#0000CD"]The Avengers[/COLOR][/I], and
[COLOR="#FF0000"]the Vision[/COLOR] was a prime candidate because he appeared only in that mag … as did [COLOR="#B22222"]Wanda[/COLOR], for that matter.
So they became a pair, for just such practical considerations. It would also, I felt,
add to the development I was doing on the Vision’s attempting to become ‘human.’”[/B][/I]

Terrific that the mutant Wanda and the synthezoid Vision will star in the [I][COLOR="#B22222"]WandaVision[/COLOR][/I] disney+ series come 2021![/CENTER]
[CENTER][I][COLOR="#0000FF"]Avengers West Coast #60[/COLOR][/I] was the start of Thomas' run on that series...

Man, the [B][SIZE=1]unintentional hilarious[/SIZE][/B] scene with those tourists and the comicbook character U.S. Agent is to appear in [I][COLOR="#000080"]the Falcon and the Winter Soldier[/COLOR][/I] disney+ series. Always a treat seeing the comicbook character Hawkeye sporting the cowl mask look [B][SIZE=1]IMO the character is to lead the [COLOR="#FF0000"]MCU Avengers West Coast[/COLOR] while sporting said look[/SIZE][/B].[/CENTER]
Hugh Roy Thomas fan. His Avengers run is my favorite on the title. If he just wrote that it would still put him high on my list, but he also has Conan, The Invaders, Namor, surprisingly good Pre-Claremont X-Men, did I mention Conan? He also wrote one of my favorite comics in the entire medium in All-Star Squadron. His work with Earth-2 solidified me as a fan of the Golden Age.

Oh yeah!
I loved some of their cast too, like Brain Drain. Brain Drain was so creepy!

This brought so many great memories.

Happy Birthday Roy! The Kree-Skrull War is still my favorite Avengers story.

And that's my dilemma, [I]Iron Maiden[/I]. I have no interest in PDFs, but most of the books/magazines that I'm interested in reading are ALL sold out. :(
Is there any solution for this problem? :confused:

I can't think of one honestly. I guess you could always check the out the newest issue I linked to? It says it will be in stock on December 8th. Another magazine I've bought there in the past is called Back Issue, especially if you like to read about the "good old days"

[center]Thanks for the response. I'm familiar with both [I]Alter Ego[/I] & [I]Back Issue[/I] (both are excellent reading ;)).
FYI, I don't have any problems getting the newly-released books/magazines.
It's those pesky, hard-to-find older issues that's causing me so much heartache. :(
