Avengers West Coast (1985) 45 VF+ 8.5

Vision Quest Part 4 of 4. "New Faces" Script by John Byrne. Pencils by John Byrne. Inks by Mike Machlan. Cover by John Byrne. The Vision has been reassembled thanks to the brilliance and hard work of Hank Pym. But complications remain. First, the Vision's appearance has changed due to the trauma his bio-synthetic skin suffered during his disassembly. And second, while Hank has restored the Vision's memories, he can't recreate the emotional attachment to them. For that the brain patterns of Simon Williams are needed. But when Wanda finds Simon and asks him to cooperate, he refuses. Then Wonder Man faces the wrath of the Scarlet Witch! Wow, the West Coast Avengers are approaching rock bottom. And the recent addition of the U.S. Agent is not helping. (Notes: The cover to this issue is an homage to John Buscema and George Klein's classic cover to Avengers (1st series) #57 -- the first appearance of the silver age Vision. The white Vision debuted in the MCU in the final episode of the WandaVision Disney+ series. The Vision Quest storyline was a distressing read for long-time fans of the Avengers. Several years later during the Gatherers saga, the Vision regains his red-hued body. [See Avengers 360.] The letters page contains a statement of ownership: average print run 306,775; average paid circulation 178,125.) 32 pages. Cover price $0.75.
