STEVE RUDE - CURT SWAN - BOB WIACEK - NEAL ADAMS - PAUL SMITH
Unpublished, Alternate Covers!

|
| Paul Smith did this fake Avengers period-piece cover, originally published as a poster in Avengers Special #1. Don't try to figure out where it may have fallen in the real book's number order. Because it has Cap, Hulk, Shellhead in all-yellow armor, and Hank Pym as GIANT Man, it's impossible to fit into the real continuity! |
