In the autumn of 1968, Roy Thomas needed a new Avenger and Stan Lee wanted an android. The result was the Vision: a red-faced synthetic man built by Ultron to infiltrate and destroy the team, who chose otherwise. Thomas took the name from an obscure 1940 Simon & Kirby character and gave it something comics had rarely tried, a hero whose central question was whether he was a person at all.
John Buscema's cover is the reason many collectors want this book on the wall. It's a single figure, nearly monochrome, rising out of the clouds while the Avengers fall away in silhouette below. "Behold... the Vision!" It's an announcement, and Marvel was right to make it. The character has been in continuous use ever since and returns this October in Disney+'s VisionQuest.
This copy is graded CGC 7.5 (Very Fine-) with off-white to white pages. The cover reds are rich and the presentation is handsome for the grade.
