Avengers #58, "Even an Android can Cry"

Avengers #58, "Even an Android can Cry" is one of the truly classic comics of the silver age with writer Roy Thomas and John Buscema at the top of their game. It's one of those era defining comics!
Joe Jusko did an amazing job recreating this classic cover originally by "Big" John Buscema's for Avengers #58.
It was a special time for Marvel. Roy Thomas had taken over the writing reigns of the Avengers from Stan Lee while John Buscema was a fresh face in the Bullpen. Though it wasn't one of their first issues together, it was around this time that the two really seemed to find their voices on the title.


In the 60's Roy Thomas struggled to find his way out of Stan Lee’s very big coat tails. It was around this time that he found his voice and started producing work that set the pace and defined who the Avengers were even to this day. In “Even an Android can Cry”, Thomas had borrowed the Vision  from his beloved Golden Age comics an obscure Timely character created by Simon and Kirby.

It seems that John may have used this image by Simon and Kirby from Marvel Mystery #13, 1940, as a reference when he created the first appearance of the Vision.

This iconic cover is the first appearance of the Vision in Avengers #57, Oct. 1968.
John Buscema, whose work defined the Marvel look of the 70’s, had found his style at this time and was doing such stupendous stuff as these classic pinups both from this one issue.




The issue starts out with the Vision, though he attacked Jan "the Wasp" Van Dyne only last issue, he now repents his deed and wishes to join the Avengers.


Of coarse they must have the ubiquitous fight found in every superhero comic.


Then we get to the interesting part of the creation of the Vision by the Avengers arch nemesis Ultron, who himself only had his first appearance a few issues before with Avengers #54 and #55, another classic Thomas/Buscema achievement.



Then we get to another great back story with the origin of Ultron, Hank "Giant Man" Pym's robot "son".



If that's not enough back story we then find out that the Vision was programmed with Wonder Man's brain waves.


Well it seems that despite his dubious origins, he is welcomed whole heartedly into the hallowed ranks of the Avengers.


And John Buscema adds another classic image to his already impressive repertoire.


As I said before, this is classic story telling that setts a precedent of taking from the Avengers rich past that will be repeated by such great writers as Steve Englehart, Jim Shooter and Kurt Busiek.

  9. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my husband. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and she told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my husband know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Zuma zuk spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com

I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HIV/AIDS) for the past 3 years now, I have spent a lot of money going from one place to another, from church to church, and hospitals have been my home every day. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR RAZOR helped someone in curing his HIV/AIDS disease, quickly I copied his email which is drrazorherbalhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return.

  19. I tested positive for HSV-2 a few months ago. At first, yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, there’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Dr. Azu natural herbal medication which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 Negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV free. I’m so glad that I found you Dr. Azu. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his Whats App Contact for fast communication +2347087313747 OR  Email:dr.azuherbalhome@gmail.com .
