    This was above all in my opinion Marvel's greatest and mightest group... the combination of Gods (Thor, Hercules, Sub-Mariner, Doc Samson) famous and prestigeous idol icons Captain American, Hulk , the Bio-Chemist Ant/Giant Man and the Wasp, the electronics multi-millionaire Iron Man then finally the Vision android) I read every comic in the candy-store from 1961-1966 all original. and being a 'True -Believer' Nuff Said.
