Yes, it's still Ladies Night and the fighting's right, or something like that. Tonight's scrap comes from Avengers #83, cover dated December of 1970. This features, unless I'm mistaken, the first appearance of the Valkyrie- or WAS it? Anyway, she coerces the other female Avengers (Medusa, Wasp, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow) into banding together as the "Lady Liberators", to overcome the male Avengers (and a group of hapless bad guys who happened to be in the neighborhood) and take over Avengers Mansion. Yeah, it's a hamfisted attempt to work the then-novel Women's Lib movement into a superhero story, and it's just as goofy as you'd expect. Still, it's a fun if dated little tale, and you gotta love that last panel. Again, ganked from scans_daily, and if you want to read the whole thing go here.
Script by Roy Thomas, art by John Buscema and Tom Palmer.
