Marvel by the Month

#039: December 1964 - "The Mighty Avengers Meet Spider-Man"

Episode Summary

In this marvelous month of comics, the Fantastic Four team up with Namor (but he doesn't know it)! Plus, Spidey gets his mojo back, and Sandman and the Enforcers pay the price! Speaking of Spidey, there's not one but TWO Spider-Men in this month's Avengers, and we get our first Silver Age glimpse of Captain America and Bucky in WWII as they team up with Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos! It's wall-to-wall action this month, True Believers!
