Last night I re-read one of my favorite AVENGERS stories from 1982 by Jim Shooter and Alan Weiss, in AVENGERS 215-216.




Like most of Jim Shooter's stories, it focuses on an early-Marvel twist of characters with superpowers doing everyday things, like running errands, going to the bank, eating out in a restaurant or bar, and the funny situations that occur when they interact with regular people.

In this case, Tigra gets hit on by a guy in a bar, who turns out to be a fur fetishist.
Another scene has her (kitty-like) drinking milk at the bar.

Plus other fun kitty-isms.

And fighting Molecule Man, which just adds to the goofiness.
WTF in a very fun way.

Anyone who enjoys early Marvel stories would definitely enjoy these issues.
Shooter came back for this one last stint for issues 211-220, and all these issues have a quirky early-Marvel feel to them.

This was a great run on AVENGERS, both by Shooter and by others, from issues 141(Perez's first issue) up through 224(Michelinie's last issue). Roger Stern's run from 225-287 had some good stories too, but it suffered from mediocre art (Al Milgrom from 225-254, and J.Buscema/Palmer from 255-287).
