George Perez and author Jim Shooter wrap up the “Bride of Ultron” two-part Avengers story in style. You’ll witness the first appearance of Jocasta here. Jocasta played a role as a minor supporting character for a time, without being inducted into the Avengers. She starred more recently in The Initiative and Mighty Avengers, and the Heroic Age.

Jim Shooter’s writing and the art of George Perez brought us one of the coolest Avengers stories of the 1970s: the two-part “Bride of Ultron” that begins here in Avengers #161. A lot of butt gets kicked in this dynamic tale. Ant Man hands out a beatdown to the whole team. The Scarlet Witch shows us why we should be very, very afraid of her. And, the Wasp puts on what may be her sexiest outfit of all time.

Dr. Doom. He’s always been one of our favorites. Too bad his arrogance always trips him up. If only he could admit when he makes a mistake, he might be a hero. The guy is so intense he took on god — and won!
Scripted by Jim Shooter, drawn by Mike Zeck and John Beatty, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars took readers on an epic team-up to end all team-ups!
Collector’s Guide: Look for the original Secret Wars issues, the collected Secret Wars TPB, or even a whole line of action figures and figures packaged with reprints.
