Avengers #69 CGC SS 8.0 Roy Thomas Signed Custom Label

  
Avengers #69 is a classic Silver Age issue that launches one of Marvel's most ambitious story arcs, sending Earth's Mightiest Heroes across time at the whim of Kang the Conqueror. This copy is CGC Signature Series 8.0, signed by Roy Thomas, with a custom Avengers label, making it an excellent blend of vintage Marvel history and modern collector presentation.

The issue features the first appearances of the Grandmaster and the Squadron Sinister (cameo), along with the first appearance of Kyle Richmond, who would later become a longtime member of the Defenders. A pivotal issue tying together Kang, time manipulation, and the broader cosmic chess game of the Marvel Universe.
