Avengers #136

Avengers Vol. 1 #136, published in June 1975, is a reprint issue that fills the publishing gap following the Celestial Madonna Saga. Instead of continuing the main storyline, Marvel reprinted Beast’s solo adventure from Amazing Adventures #12 (1972) — which tells the story of how Hank McCoy mutated into the furry, blue-furred Beast we know today.

This issue serves as an origin-style backfill for Beast's transformation, showcasing the scientific accident that altered his body and forever changed his path as both a mutant and Avenger. Though not a new story, it helped reintroduce Beast’s backstory to Avengers readers as he was becoming a bigger part of the team lineup.

Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Tom Sutton, this reprint ties directly into Beast's evolution from X-Men member to Avenger.
