Marvel has a new trade of his Avengers stories
Yes folks, 2005 is The Year of Englehart! I'm all for it, I think Steve Englehart is one of the best writers of the 70's and I like some of his 80's stuff that I've read (his Green Lantern Corps run had an awesome Ch'p issue). Fred Hembeck once said that Englehart perfected the "Stan Lee style of writing" and I think that's a fine description of what makes Englehart so much fun to read. He's a master of exciting caption boxes, dialogue (used to great effect in his wonderful Justice League of America run) and creating cool superhero action.
You can read about all his comic book work here including his commentaries on each project. It's pretty interesting stuff to read about his experiences with Marvel and DC, working with collaborators and projects that never materialized. Check it out, go out and pick up some of his stuff that's still in print (the best being his original Detective Comics stuff) and soak up the Englehart goodness.
