Early Steranko, baby!   You'd think wearing a helmet emblazoned with 'US Spy Corps' on it might defeat the purpose having a spy corps in the first place!  |

I was tempted to go with yet another Bond cover, and there are 2 more S.H.I.E.L.D. covers I love. But I'm going with this one instead  |

As with my cover I cant reconcile this with the Don Heck I grew up with. If this had been the work I'd seen in the Avengers as a kid my opinion of his work would have been vastly different. |

Heck was generally ill-suited to doing superhero books. His work on romance, western, spy, etc. books was leaps and bounds beyond his superhero work. He was also a penciler whose work was easily damaged by bad or even ill-matched inkers. |

Ijust looked through a page of Google Images - Heck Westerns. Hal is so right. As is P.P.Pete. Heck did not fit the Superhero comic. His other work was so much better than the Silver Age Marvel stuff I found so lacking. He was suited for other genres.
I have to reappraise his talent.

Maybe I'm looking at Heck's Avengers work through young eyes, but I consider him THE Avengers artist. I love his storytelling and he drew the formative team ( the Kooky Quartet) that kept the Avengers book going.

Lots of fans didn't / don't like Heck's superhero work, but his genre art, and women in general, are pretty good.

I think its also that general 50's style that you can see in many like Toth, Tuska, Colan, and even Frank Robbins, which seems to me to be driven by Milt Caniff. Theres every chance Im wrong in that, my 50's is weak, but I take it he was a Huge influence and a lot of Crime/Horror/Romance/Western from the time seems to have his stamp on it.
Im not complaining either as I do love it.
