First Appearances:
Myron MacLain
Long absent members Iron Man and Thor rejoin the Avengers after personal leave. The team must destroy an Adamantium cylinder created by mad scientist Myron MacLain.

The unbreakable metal, Adamantium, makes it first appearance in this comic.

The Avengers lend SHIELD a hand by testing out the strength of this new metal. It seems that even the powers of the Avengers isn't enough to break this unbelievable material. Mysteriously, the Vision disappears during the testing. As if he was being summoned.

Returning to their headquarters, things start to go awry when the Avenger's training room machinery goes haywire and nearly kills Iron Man. Next the Vision infiltrates the SHIELD Helicarrier and steals the Adamantium cylinder! Has he gone mad?! Well surely he must, because he later returns and starts fighting the Avengers! Ah, but we discover just why he is acting so strangely as Ultron-6 explodes into the last page of the issue! To be continued next time...

Guide Notes:
B. Smith-a; vs. Ultron-6; 1st mention of adamantium metal
ARTIST - This is a very early Barry Windsor Smith (Conan Artist) job for Marvel and it shows off his excellent talents even at this early stage in his career!
APPEARANCE - Yellow Jacket

From the one-owner high-grade Utah collection from Salt Lake City,Utah! It comes with a certificate of authenticity from Kermit's Pad.

Wow! This book has excellent eye-appeal on this hard-to-get in high-grade white Barry Smith cover! There is a very faint tip-bend at the lower-outer end of the front cover, sigh. We have adjusted the grade accordingly. With standard cream pages and white inner covers.

Avengers, Captain America, Hawkeye, Goliath, Wasp, Iron Man, Thor, the Vision
