Assemble - by Steve Vivona

38 years ago, I read Avengers #162, and it forever cemented my allegiance to Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I was never an "X" man, and while I enjoyed The Fantastic Four, The Avengers were always my team. I was fortunate enough to come of age in the midst of George Perez's masterful run on the book (and was there when he returned 20 years later). I'm sure his beautiful, detailed, and dizzying panels had everything to do with my attraction to the book. His artwork was (and is) as kinetic as true motion.
