...at the end of the saga (Avengers #97), Goliath (formerly Hawkeye) does
not appear with them when the Supreme Intelligence transports the Avengers
and Captain Marvel to his chamber and then to Earth. Anyone have issues 98,
99? What happened to Goliath? And couldn't Marvel have just reprinted a
few panels from the books outside the war just to show what happened to him?

he took up with a troupe of travelling gypsy showmen as an archery act
for a bit, got a new indian-inspired blue costume and eventually made
his way back to the US and the Avengers. At least that's my
recollection from having read the story many moons ago. Corrections
and elaborations welcome.

Yeah. Much as I usually like Neal Adams' work, personally I'd've
rejected this. It gives no sense of what the TPB is about at all.

AVENGERS #98 - 100 is a 3-parter drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith and
featuring the Greek gods. Why this has never been collected as a
(short) TPB is an utter mystery. Then again, I'd also like to see the
four 10-page Neal Adams INHUMANS stories collected, too, even if only
as an ordinary, one-shot comicbook since quite apart from the gorgeous
artwork this is a companion piece to the Kree-Skrull War. Possibly
these and Adams' two THOR issues could be brought together in a second
Adams Visionaries volume?

And to explain why the SI didn't transport him, turned out he'd managed to
cause the Skrull ship he was chasing (which was going to blow up the Earth)
to explode at the very same instant that the SI was doing the transport.
The explosion interfered with the transport, so he stayed where he was,
ending up in central Europe. As a side note, an amnesiac Hercules turned
out to be part of the troupe. Clint is taken from here for his appearances
in Avengers Forever, and as seen in AF #12, right before he calls Tony
Stark's office to try to get transport for him and Herc back to the US.

Was that explained at the time in Avengers or somewhere else?
Iwas under the impression the SI couldn't pull him because he was already pulled
out of time by Immortus for AF.
Did the writers of the time explain his trip to the circus or was that just
glossed over?

This was all (save for the Avengers Forever parts) explained in the Avengers
issues at the time. #99 I think, as Clint shows up at the end of #98.

Because I had to change accounts due to Netcom shutting down its shell
account service, and due to a bad phone connection the person taking my
account information at Panix got a letter wrong. Should be fixed now.
That or that pesky Earth-247 version of me has been acting up again.
