A major Silver Age Avengers key, Avengers #52 (1968) features the first appearance of the Grim Reaper (Eric Williams), one of the Avengers’ most recognizable villains and the brother of Wonder Man.

Written by Roy Thomas with artwork by John Buscema and Vince Colletta, this issue also includes an important development in Avengers history as Black Panther joins the Avengers team.

The bold yellow cover featuring the Grim Reaper battling the Avengers is one of the most iconic villain introduction covers of the late Silver Age.

High-grade copies of this issue are particularly desirable among collectors due to the importance of the character and the continued popularity of Avengers villains.

This CGC 9.2 Cream to Off-White Pages copy represents a beautiful high-grade example of this key Marvel issue.
