The Avengers #175 (Sep. 1978)

Dear Editor,

Please congratulate Cockrum and Austin on the amazing cover for Avengers 175. While you are at it, extend that to Wenzel, Marcos, and Rache—the inside of the issue was beautiful as well.

But, I'm sorry to say that this may be the first and last time I pick up an Avengers comic from around this time. Nothing happened in the whole issue. I understand that when telling a prolonged story that some issues may have less happening than others. However, here we have an example of not a single plot point being hit. They spent the whole issue asking a single question and getting no answer. The only thing that did happen was the reader being shown some minor insight into the current antagonist. But this information could have been shown at anytime and wasn't significant enough to have it's own issue.

Please, I beg you, have the heroes do more! They could get in a fight. They could find an important clue. They could do anything. They just need to move the story forward. Please…

Regretfully your reader,
Jeff King
Pittsburgh, PA
