Marvel had effectively washed its hands of the Comics Code about two years before this Avengers story was published. Still, I think I remember my jaw dropping when I first saw it:



I'm afraid to ask how Jan reciprocated, but I imagine the Comics Code office stopped returning calls around that time.
