Where it came from
The Avengers #70, cover-dated November 1969, serves as the conclusion to the high-stakes 'Kang War' storyline. Written by Roy Thomas with iconic interior artwork by Sal Buscema and Sam Grainger, the issue marks a definitive moment in the series as it features the introduction of the Squadron Sinister, a villainous pastiche of DC Comics' Justice League created by Thomas to challenge Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The narrative focuses on the Grandmaster’s cosmic game, pitting the Avengers against these new adversaries in a display of structural world-building that pushed the boundaries of the Marvel multiverse.
The design of the issue, characterized by the dynamic action-oriented style of Buscema, reflects the transition of the Avengers into more complex, mythic storytelling during the late Silver Age. Receiving positive critical attention at the time for its ambitious scale, the issue is remembered for its intricate plotting and its role in establishing the Squadron Sinister as a staple of the Marvel rogues' gallery. It remains a significant acquisition for collectors interested in the evolution of team-based superhero dynamics and the specific creative collaboration between Thomas and Buscema during this era.
