Set Description:
On an island type mass south of the border line by several miles, and beneath the sun with lights and cities as any other, COMES AUSTRALIA! Yes, it is in the lighthearted exclamation's of Crikey that we light'em up to make the price variants flourish with newsstand like distribution, taking in the scenery and likeminded friends galore, comes the AVENGERS! To take the world by storm and thunder! Thor among others enjoying the field trip like excursions.
Men at work have transfigured the lightning of the AC/DC to make another hop skip and a jump of the lifestyle contenders, with those priced copies from across an ocean of fandom.
Criminy! Those and other terms of affection that are all ad hominem, which means it is now time to bank on another distribution for the ample newsstands that were trusted, established, and yes, are another niche to collect. CGC being its own brand to contend within itself, it is all within the realm of putting something together! Looking again, here, at another itch to scratch and seems to be all good things for those inclined with a collecting bug. The fun of enjoying it all as a whole, is then found with those who have the inclination and wherewithal going from sought and found to purchase, and then making it your own in the registry! Time and admiration of the thrill of the hunt to then prove its salt or at least "possibility to be found" proven! Not all is hard or easy per se, it comes down to friends, connections made, and the love of the hobby! We have many a hurdle to travel through over and under. and with 3 to 1 odds, most of the time, ha!

Australian Price Variant. Doctor Doom cameo on last page. The bikerider type is needing assistance from the Avengers to get it done, and who is on their roster today? Well, the leather bound is a part of the team and along for the ride, taking in the time of his prowess! Thanos seems in the background, but the likeness of a "collector" overshadows soon enough. Part of the haul that Chad my friend from Australia supplied to the collection on the FCBD visit circa 2023! Glad to have the Australian thunderstruck hospitality, Men at Work should have the passion of comics, comics, comics. I got this short run added to the registry, with an interesting arc and a few 1st appearances, whether you follow the Key Collector App or not. It takes in the breath and exhales slowly to see the Avengers roster in full force, and speaking of reading the story, it isn't always an easy add to make the Avengers roster and come away with the victory still ON IT!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released in theaters of the movie, "THE BIKERIDERS!" Featuring the likes of Venom's Tom Hardy and the Walking Dead's Norman Reedus! Leather bound and looking to tell a story based on true circumstances of the biker gangs that were abundant, and do not speak to all riders but are known for their antics!
Grader Notes:
light bends to cover;
light creasing to cover;

Australian Price Variant. Enter Thane Ector and the "brethren!" Other worldly and semi-crash landing to discover the need to establish dominance to secure their position as a threat! Quickly taking up force to portray their "might" when placing Quicksilver onto their radar, in this instance like "Mortal Kombat", figuring to TEST THEIR MIGHT! They quickly assess that an Avenger will not buckle under pressure, and it takes on the thought that this planet is home to the "AVENGERS!" This is a near mint minus of #335, I sent in #334 as well, but it had sticky stuff, unfortunately, and it got rejected and sent back to me from CGC. Several from this run and arc were furnished to me from Chad when visiting from Australia. Long live friends when blessed to be a blessing, and it takes on a character of its own, when getting these added to the registry. Avengers Onward it will be the Assembled Character of the Avengers.
Complete with a back cover picture of that mentioned #334 with the Thane Ector front and center! Captain America rushing in to cover the bases and secure a safety in tow for the already suffering Quicksilver. These Australian Distributions are the makers of stamina!

light writing on cover.

Australian Price Variant. Avengers Assembled! Taking to task "a" brethren that finds the need for dominance, only to have to put up a fight! Beast and the other AVENGERS! These "brethren" think themselves a type of conqueror, and what fully is their mission? Are they the top of the rung? In the name of whom, do they come? Unraveling the speech bubbles while being on the attack and or defense, the Avengers make an arc of a story to round out the last of the #334-338 issues! Brought over from Australia by my good friend Chad and taking a year or so to send to CGC, we've got to factor in the timing of assembling these in the registry to get them added. Furthering the cause for newcomers and ways of "collecting", as the confrontation of any Avenger, is thinking you have won before it is truly written in stone. The Avengers secure their spot in this collection, and while the Thane Ector and his brethren in this arc, seemingly, are reporting to whom they work and who will then come looking to "collect!" Even in the Australian distribution, it has the "collector villains."
Complete with a back cover picture of #334 fellow Australian Price Variant insides, showing the reckoning that bewilders the Avengers initially and got the drop on them! It got rejected due to stickiness, which CGC suggested the pressing option, of which in my arc in the registry I did NOT pay for pressing.

Australian Price Variant. Bob Harras story with Steve Epting & Tom Palmer art. Ron Lim & Tom Palmer cover! Deciphering the sypher of togetherness, it pits: "the brethren" against Avengers! Not all parties were initially wanting to sort it all out, but when push comes to shove it becomes inevitable. Forgiveness on the part of the Avengers and subsequent teams may come, but in the moment count on avenging! Brought to America by Chad, my friend, Australian Priced Variants are now added to the registry in an arc of substantial weight and curation! Evenly distributed in grades, well pretty much, and not often found "in the wild!" Taking into account the cost and price of what the Avengers mean to the collecting "collector!" This being my lowest grade of the arc it is still a worthy edition addition to make a collection of Australian Distribution! It means a lot to have those who pique the interest with a niche itch!
Complete with a back cover picture of world futuristics, and similarly to the Avengers of old, "STRIDER!" Shown from my Arcade 1up arcade machine I own, who's plot is to wield a "Tonfa like plasma sword", which is called a Cypher! Indeed, the Avengers like the game are swinging for the fences with likeness of prospect in outcome! GAME OVER!?!
Grader Notes:
crease top of back cover;
tape pull left top of front cover;
light bends to cover;
light spine stress lines to cover.

Australian Price Variant. These "brethren" were merely "medieval like mercenaries" sent by the "collector villain" to collect. Can you hear me now? 1-800 numbers could not have seen this tolled call when the bell chimed, and the underlings are torn aside to unveil the main protagonist! Avengers onward assemble, having seen the like of which first back in Avengers #28, which may now be on my radar after this arc's acquisitions! Not to fall by the wayside as any collector will happen upon new and exciting adventures. Again, supplied to me by friend Chad from Australia, and I got this arc, including #331 of Australian Priced Variants added to the registry. The numbers are adding up to make a beautiful and full set, when the likes of friendships and character have the opportunity to assemble onward and upward, threefold cords are not easily broken. Glad to add this and the memories to the life of a "true" collector.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass to the movie before released publicly of, "Gladiator II!" Circa 2024 and the "collectors" out there must feel the honor of the battle torn, now that the market is settling. Many want to still get in the ring, but knowledge still takes the understanding to wield it and if to not just be cunning on your own. After the 2020-2022 rampart and coliseum like style with what some have now been trained, we will see if like the Collector in this arc, that all can get out there and be victors and lion tamers. Let the bidding begin, It Has Begun!
Grader Notes:
light bends to cover;
light creasing to cover;
light spine stress lines to cover;
light tape residue left top of front cover;
small, very light fade left top of front cover.
