The Avengers

When the series was introduced to America on January 14th, 1967, the producers considered the whole thing too bizarre for American taste, and decided to introduce the show to the audience with a specialy made sequence. It is known by Avengers fans worldwide as "the chess board intro".
	Carlos Pagés told me about these pictures and kindly supplied the text. He has also built an Avengers desktop theme which uses the image below as its wallpaper and a screen saver. Both the theme and the screen saver can be obtained from David K. Smith's superb "Avengers Forever" site.

The pictures originaly came from http://www.quitequitefantastic.com/avengers/main.html and James Dawe's unofficial Avengers Home Page
