Avengers (Vol. I) #31

Never Bug a Giant!

Avengers (Vol. I) #31Still in the clutches of the Keeper of the Flame and his funny-looking followers, Goliath soon receives help from his available teammates. There's another oddly-dressed guy named Prince Rey who's added to the mix and it results in a big brawl in an imposing South American underground. The hard-to-find Doctor Anton finally informs his rescuers that he can't really help Goliath. Thanks for nothing, Doc!

Interesting here to note that the Wasp doesn't trust Hawkeye, because of his relationship to the Black Widow, even if he acts like a real teamplayer now. She even admits how difficult it was in the early days to share command amongst them. At that point, the Avengers used some strange-looking flying crafts, changing issue to issue. The time of the classic Quinjet was yet to come.

Some South American policemen are all impressed by the Avengers' fame. Alas, this story is a bore, as the Keeper of the Flame remains a bland villain and his men all wear hideous costumes.
