And there came a day unlike any other, when Earth’s mightiest heroes were united against a common threat! On that day the Avengers were born! To fight the foes no single hero could withstand!
In this case, a seal-juggling Hulk disguised as a clown! (Don't remember that from the movie.)
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby assembled the Avengers in September 1963, and 54 years later, we decided to talk about it.
This is the 53rd episode of The Brothers Marvel podcast, in which we discuss Avengers No. 1, featuring yet another use of invisible dynamite, yet another appearance of Rick Jones’ accursed Teen Brigade, using a net to stop the Hulk, the most visibly upsetting troll of all-time and a convenient — and perhaps physics-defying — trap door in a Detroit tire factory.
