Florent Toniello's The
Avengers moves to a new host at chez.com, having been launched
originally in 1995 — one of the very first Avengers sites
on the Internet. However, the site is slow to develop but its
claim to the Hall of Fame is that it goes down as the first
bilingual Avengers website on the Internet, being presented
in French and English, albeit half-heartedly so in the latter
language. |
