Manic 1965 Letters Columns #5--Put The Old Order Back!!

Avengers #16, "The Old Order Changeth," was one of the more important issues in early Marvel history.

But there were some fans who hated it to pieces, as we can see in these letters from Avengers #19 (1965)...

"If any super-hero leaves a team after only a little over a year of issue published, I'd say he doesn't have much stamina!"?? Kid, the Hulk left after only two issues!!

But, as ever, Stan will go to any lengths to satisfy:

Hmm, that would create some crazy collectors items, eh? Or perhaps be the basis of one of a What If? I can't believe they've never done--"What If The Olde Order Never Changethed?"

This guy was even less happy:

"Truly seedy second-rate characters"? Man, I hope you weren't around for the Bendis days. Or this line-up...

Don;t worry, Stan, they got over it...
