Not long ago, I shared the 'leaked' teaser for the 2012 release of The Avengers from Disney Studios. What it lacked in specificity (or visuals, or actors, or dialogue) it made up for in geek factor.
However, check out this version, made an astonishing 60 years before the team's big screen debut! Only fans of the comic series will truly appreciate all of the nice touches in this hilarious masterpiece, but hopefully "regular folk" can still enjoy identifying many of the sources for its material (the original versions of The War of the Worlds, The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Thing from Another Planet all jumped out at me immediately).
Thanks to the ever-entertaining Jeff "Doc" Jensen for the link to this great 1950's compilation.
