The Avengers is one of the most important superhero team - up comic strip of all time , with over 570 issues of cameraderie and world - saving . Now , data visualisation expert Jer Thorp has get up with a magnificent set of infographics record some key facts about that mass of issue .
Among other matter , there are charts display which member of the team appeared in which issues , and which number was each fellow member ’s first appearance on the squad . Also , you’re able to see which eras boast the most female member of the team — plus similar chart for the numbers pool of robot or god / eternals on the squad at any given time . Thorp also looked at different writers and editors who worked on the Avengers comedian — and it become out that not only was the other eighties the high water mark for distaff Avengers , but the uncouth factor in most of the eras with a lot of distaff members was writer / editor Jim Shooter . Thorp also charted the issues with the most members of the team — and the clear-cut achiever was “ Pomp and Pageantry , ” which featured a thumping 119 Avengers .
Thorp ’s articles ( Part 1andPart 2 ) arrive out a few workweek ago , but we did n’t see them until today , whenComic Book Resources interview Thorp about them .
Thorptells CBR :
Character - wise , I was surprised by just how many Avengers there were — I ’d forgotten about most of them — and some of them I had to re - read issues to confirm they actually existed . Triathalon ? The Whizzer ? Really ?
I guess , though , the expectant matter I got out of this practice session was a sound sympathy of the system of people behind the artistic creation and stories . Of course names like Mark Greunwald and Jim Shooter were familiar to me , having date them in the masthead , but now I have a better idea of how they all jibe together . Likewise , it was really interesting to teach something about some of the other creators , who I did n’t know much or anything about before .
