Murder Tales

A bit of an oddity, where no artist info was available, and, even stranger, the run seems to start with 10 and 11, but here are Murder Tales #10 and #11 (November, 1970 and January, 1971) from World Famous Periodicals.

Happy Mother's Day To Scarlet Witch

A throwback to a happier time in comics, when Vision and Scarlet Witch took a (12 issue mini-series) break from being Avengers and concentrated on their family....here, covers to Vision And Scarlet Witch #4 and #12 (January and September, 1986) with art by Richard Howell...

...all to wish you a Happy Mother's Day. 

Oh, and Wanda had twins here (but later, things got SO much more complicated...)
