It's Halloween, so how's about a little old school werewolf action ?  Around this time, Marvel had a tendency to try new characters out in titles like Marvel Spotlight or Marvel Premiere , then give them their own series if they proved to be popular. However, the characters' first issues often carried on the story from those other books, so you'd pick up issue 1 only to find yourself in the middle of an ongoing tale (for other examples, see Captain Marvel in THE COMING OF CAPTAIN MARVEL or Adam Warlock in COUNT-DOWN FOR COUNTER-EARTH ).

Nick Fury and his agents of SHIELD have just defeated the international terrorist organisation, Hydra . But the world is far from safe as an even greater, more mysterious threat lurks on the horizon.  Who are THEM ? Or should that be... who is THEM?

The storyline introduces a huge number of characters and concepts to the Marvel Universe , including AIM , Batroc the Leaper , Boomerang , Peggy Carter , Sharon Carter , the Cosmic Cube , Fixer , Mentallo , the Secret Empire , Jasper Sitwell and the Super-Adaptoid , and also brought the Red Skull into the modern age. Thanks to Solletaire for pointing this one out to me. I've run this one before, but recently discovered a load more tie-in issues that add a whole other level of crazy to this Kirby-fuelled conspiracy. Strange Tales #141 [1/2] Strange Tales #142 [1/2]

The creepy, doll-faced Puppet Master tried to create a new life for himself and his niece, Alicia Masters , by transferring their minds into tiny robot bodies so they could live in peace in the purpose-built town of Liddleville - a shrunken village populated by minute robot citizens.  In an effort to turn this already-insane plan into a revenge plot against the Fantastic Four , Doctor Doom transferred the minds of the FF into tiny bodies and removed their memories. The team eventually learned the truth and escaped Liddleville and took Doom's inert body back to the Baxter Building, unaware that Doom's consciousness was still trapped in the tiny body of Professor Vince Vaughn in Liddleville...
