| ISSUE'S LETTERS |
Dear Stan and Jack,
This is a letter of indignant protest. The academic life can be intellectually tiring, so it was with pleasure that at the announcement that one of the girls on the third floor of the dorm had a copy of one of your magazines, I left off solving differential equations in inner product spaces and hastened upstairs to have a look. I read this magazine which was entitled THE AVENGERS TAKE OVER and bore the cryptic date "26 May." I really enjoyed it! I was glad when I discovered that the scene of your tale was New York City. I rejoiced at the notion of an epic battle at East 63rd Street. But, sirs, in the future, when you have your villain stagger a block away and plunge into the river, please let it be the East River and not the Hudson. Your offices are on East 60th Street. Surely, (unless, as a friend suggests, it is only a mailing address for the king of the Fiji Islands) you must be acquainted with geography of Manhattan Island. So please avoid such atrocities. Thank you!
Cory Seidman, Radcliffe College

Look, Cory—when OUR villains stagger, they take real BIG steps!! But, you're right, gal—it was just another in our never-ending series of epic bonehead mistakes of galactic proportions! And regards to the dolls in your dorm.

Dear Stan and Jack,
I would like to compliment you on bringing back Captain America. While I am not old enough to remember him in the ‘40's I have now joined my father, an old fan, as a fan of his. I hope that you will soon give Captain America his own magazine.
Thomas Burrows, 1910 Jefferson St.
Madison 11, Wisc.
GIVE him one?? Let him BUY it, like everyone else! (Relax. Tommy, we know what you mean—and if you, and all of our other fans will just be patient a while longer—)

Dear Stan and Jack,
After reading Avengers #5 I thought I would enlighten you with some of my comments about the Avengers in general and individually. Avengers #3 and #4 were so good they even topped F.F. #22 and #24 respectively. Unfortunately, #5 couldn't to F.F. #26 (no other comic in the world could have), but that was because the Avengers starred with F.F.. against the Hulk. Thor is by far the best character in the Avengers with Captain America next, and Giant-Man, the Wasp, and Iron Man in that order. I don't consider Rick Jones a participating member since he has no super-powers. The Avengers are the only comic today capable of making the F.F. the World's Second Greatest Comic Magazine!
Bruce Bourgeois, 9824 Hawthorne Ave.

Thanks, Bruce! The Avengers love ya! But what’s that angry grumbling we hear coming from the Baxter Building?

Dear Stan and Jack,
I have just finished reading “The Attack of the Lava People” and it was great! Captain America is great and I hope he gets a series of his own. I like his style! I also want to complain. The Hulk is being outclassed, hated and bullied in your magazine. I am an avid Hulk fan and I think he should be a hero instead of a villain. Otherwise your books are great! Please do me and a million other Hulk fans a favor—make him a hero!
David Stuard, 165 E. Monterey St.

But, Davy boy—all this time we thought he WAS a hero!

Dear Stan and Jack,
Normally I do not write letters to anybody, but you're not anybody! I would like to give you a big hand for the great characters you have in the Marvel Comics Group!
They are just as you describe them—mighty, fantastic, and super! Though all your characters are the greatest, I especially enjoy the mighty and noble Thor! I want to yell to the world how great he is! As for Loki, let's put him in his place—maybe a man-to-man duel between Loki and Thor. Thanks for your time—and good luck!
Sherwood Conant, 2548 Olopua St.
Honolulu 14, Hawaii
Our time is your time, Sherwood! And ol’ Goldilocks and Loki DO have a bangup fight in THOR #108! Aloha!

Dear Stan and Jack,
In issue #5 of the Avengers someone asked in the Letter Page who would win in a fight—Thor or the Hulk—and who is the stronger of the two. He thought the Hulk was. I say that Thor would win the fight because he is a god and the Hulk is not. The mythological gods were always superior to mankind and no human, no matter how powerful , could defeat a god. The Hulk, though powerful is still a mortal while Thor is an immortal. Besides, Thor is faster than the Hulk and if Thor hit the Hulk with his Enchanted Hammer, it's good-bye Hulk! I'd like to see them fight it out. A few of my friends and I figure that if Thor and the Hulk fight and Thor wins, it will bring the Hulk back to his right mind and he'll become good. What do you say? I'd like to congratulate you on all your magazines—they're tops with me.
Robert Galvanin, 9 Lawn St.
Providence, R.I.
You know our mags, Bob! Sooner or later everybody fights everybody! In fact, if you wait long enough, you’ll probably see Spidey’s Aunt May tangling with Ben Grimm’s Aunt Petunia.

Suspended from Avengers activities for a week? Boy, not allowing him to help us fight evil should really teach him. How lame.
REALLY hoping that the Avengers start to get better soon, as they (Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes cartoon) were the reason I started reading these old issues in the first place. |

The Avengers book picks up steam once the first major lineup change happens in another half dozen issues or so... Stick with it! |

Cap's broken heart for Bucky is really awkward, he should assume his feelings, it's a free country!
Actually I truly enjoyed this ish, I expected nothing from the Avengers, and they're doing nice.
P.S.: A palm tree is a vine?? |

That's really smart of you, Odin. Send them back to the world they tried to conquer. You're a failure at ruling as well as parenting now?
When Zemo talks about defeating Thor, he says "By thunder! I'll do it!" bad choice of words?
The entire "fake face" thing is overdone in these early comics. |

Many things are well pointed out already in the comments. Captain America's and Rick's relationship is quite disturbing, and the latter coming out of the closer made much sense, lol. And yeah, banned from Avengers activities?? Do they play pool and watch movies together?? Anyways, Thor's nightmare is effective, especially the Wasp's portrayal. |

Yeah, that vision the Enchantress gave him was pretty sweet. It'd be neat to see one of them sent into an alternate universe where those evil versions of the avengers exist. Or heck, the whole good team against the whole evil team. Now THAT would be a match! |

well everything I had to say has pretty much been said already. Banned for a week? oh gee! Also, the Wasp might just be the most useless superhero. Does she even have any powers beside flying and being small? Coz next to Thor for example, she is nothing. And her character annoys the hell out of me. |

Kind of a dick move for Odin to basically send two disasters waiting to happen to Earth. Best punishment would have been to exile them and strip them of their powers... but then we couldn't really have any conflict :( |

Oh, and being suspended from the Avengers for a week is hilarious. What is this, a boy scout club? |

I love the idea of Tony being suspended for a week like a naughty schoolboy. Less enthused about yet another power for Thor's hammer, though! |

Odin's a dumbass. Just a really dumb move for a god to banish two other gods to a planet they tried to conquer, and letting them keep their powers. Tony's suspension was hilariously middle school-esque.
I like that Cap's still broken up over Bucky. At least he's not thinking "Bucky who? I've got Rick now!" |

Yes, Odin wins the dumbass of the year award definitely. And why was the Executioner acting like he had no idea what mortals dress like? Did Stan forget Ex was wading through the crowded streets of New York looking for Jane in Thor #104. I am also just not digging Zemo at all. He's a terrible villain so far and I hope he improves. |

Tony Stark relaxes at home with a TV and a cigarette?!
Giant-man claims to be 40 feet tall, yet appears to be over six stories. Apparely Stan didn't pay attention to the pictures when writing the captions. |

Oh man, those first two pages were brutal reading, not a terrible issue though over all. |
