Captain America sure took his sweet time re-entering the Marvel Universe, but the (not-quite-)First Avenger finally makes his Silver Age debut this month! Speaking of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, future Avengers Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch also make their first appearances in this episode's comics, and the Fantastic Four fight a baby. Wait, what?
Note: We started out by titling these episodes with the cover date (the date that's printed on the cover), but we switched to their newsstand dates (the dates they went on sale) around episode #50. The newsstand date for this episode is December 1963/January 1964.
