Today we offer The Avenger fighting off some sea monsters. Not monsters in the sense of the Creature from the Black Lagoon monster, but regular denizens of the deep, a shark, an octopus, both of which could look monstrous if they are coming after you.
It is too bad the series only lasted four issues, but it was just a couple of years early for a superhero revival in comics.
For the origin of The Avenger, you can go to the link below.
The story is from The Avenger #2 (1955): Art by Bob Powell.

Powell, an artist you could always depend on, does on thing you couldn't always expect in earlier comics -- he does some research. The octopus and the shark are pretty well and accurately (to a point) drawn.
Bravo to Powell here!
Brian, much better than the dinosaur he drew in Jet #2.
Bah! Who can think of dinosaurs when Su Shan makes an appearance?!?
