Almost on the money, Doug. It was October of 1968. [Yes, I still have 
mine].

Here it is, Avengers #57, cover by John Buscema, a real classic:

I seem to recall quite a few Silver Age comics stories that featured 
alien viruses brought to earth on meteorites, and that kind of thing, 
but don't remember any details. Sold most of my collection to buy a big 
Sikhote-Alin years ago (good investment). Kept the Jack Kirby classics 
though. He was the greatest. I have an original Jack Kirby "Captain 
America" page right here on the wall in my office.

Excelsior!
