History: 

Comments: Created by Charles Hornig and Ray Burley.

   Though Buzz's name is in the story title, making him the titular Invisible Avenger, it's worth pointing out that Will also wears an invisibility belt and is every bit as much a hero as his friend - so it'd be more accurate to term them the Invisible Avengers, plural, which is something the last line of the second story confirms.
