Sartorial Splendor of a Synthezoid (or, "Even an Android Can Buy...His Clothing from T. J. Maxx!")

Ladeez and gennlemen...I give you...

The Vision in a Sweater!
WCA A#1
Panels from West Coast Avengers Annual #1 (1986), script by Steve Englehart, co-plot and pencils by Mark Bright, inks by Geoff Isherwood, colors by Petra Scotese, letters by Tom Orzechowski

Other interesting tidbits in this panel: Wonder Man proving, yes, indeed, he can have a costume worse than the one in Avengers #9, an early appearance by Crazy Wanda's fictional babies (later members of the Young Avengers), the fact that Wonder Man was present at the birth of Wanda's babies (hey, clear the delivery room, Simon!), not to mention Wonder Man politely assuming that Vizh and ScarWi have something better to do than to "crush the Avengers." (Also, looks like they have the same painting over their couch as The Simpsons.)

Still, don't let those bizarre points distract you from the weirdness and wackiness of...

Also, we learn that the Vision apparently likes Wands to cosplay as Hermione Grainger. Still...

Man-on-robot porn was so big in the Eighties. You can't blame Hank and Vision for wanting to make a little extra money.

From that fourth pic, it looks like Vizh has Picard-style Male-Pattern Yellowness. And so young, too!

And I kinda thought the fifth pic (Vision in a bathrobe) made him look like Doc Savage!

Man, forget Vizion in a sweater, how about that Wanda in a tie?

Captcha: "Manetto," cut-out Pietro's tongue, then ask him who his father is!
