Avengers #66 - Barry Windsor Smith art

Avengers #66

Avengers v1 #66, 1969 - Testing the limits of adamantium, the Avengers discover an unseen foe seeks possession of the indestructible new metal. Barry Smith is tasked with his first Avengers tale, resulting in artwork teeming with youthful enthusiasm. Despite some clumsy figure drawing, his page designs are fresh and innovative. The surreal decorative splash on page 13 and the Vision taking flight (see interior page below) are both visually striking. A discussion in the Avengers mansion is cleverly portrayed through insets within a wide angle view (page 15). Equal credit should be given to Syd Shores, whose sure-handed inks minimize Smith's inexperience. This story was later reprinted in Marvel Super Action v2 #27. Cover by John Buscema.
