Bob Layton — The New Line-Up!

Commission, All-Star Squadron #1 Mash-up with Avengers #150 and #151, 2007

Bob Layton has some fun reimagining the cover of DC’s All-Star Squadron #1 (Rich Buckler, artist) as an Avengers “changing of the guard” issue.

Also fun — Bob uses the trade dress for issue #150 (1976) of the Avengers own comic book, a fill in issue that primarily features a reprint of the first major line-up change in issue #16. The actual line-up changes in #151.  

It was clearly all meant to be a single story in #150, but… the dreaded deadline of doom strikes again.
