WHO SAYS A MASTERWORKS HAS TO BE GOOD?

When Stan Lee set the tone for the Marvel Age of Comics it came with a healthy dose of humor. When fans demanded more of that Marvel mayhem, Stan, along with Jack Kirby, Gene Colan and the Bullpen’s mistress of mirth, Marie Severin, turned the dial up to 11 and let loose! What came blasting out was the masterpiece of Silver Age satire Not Brand Echh. Each issue came packed with Marvel’s greatest talents taking a sideways look at the super heroes they made famous (and even some that they didn’t!) Now, Charlie America, Scaredevil, the Revengers, Sore Son of Shmodin, the Sunk-Mariner and the one and only Forbush Man are coming at you in this unprecedented enormous Marvel Masterworks!

EARTH’S MIGHTIEST NON-TEAM JOINS WITH THE GALAXY’S GREATEST GUARDIANS!

One of the most challenging writers of ’70s Marvel, Steve Gerber’s Defenders ranks as a high-water mark of the era. Taking Marvel’s famous non-team and mixing in his own unique brand of sharp social commentary, Gerber brought forth stories both action-packed and insightful. 

We begin with a classic four-part saga featuring the bigoted Sons of the Serpent that brings members past and present together to defend the defenseless. Then, the Guardians of the Galaxy hit the scene and take the Defenders to the year 3015 A.D. It’s an amazing adventure including the debut of Starhawk, and since we were at it, we added the Guardians of the Galaxy’s first appearance, too! Oh, and there’s an elf with a gun. You’ll see…

The space-born hero Mar-Vell’s continuing battle against the vicious Kree Colonel Yon-Rogg continues in this second sensational volume.

But the true transformation comes when the titanic team of writer Roy Thomas and artist Gil Kane combine to take the man long torn between two planets and two loves, and tear him between two people! You’ll see the truly cosmic Captain don the Nega-Bands that bond him to Rick Jones for the first time in one of Mar-Vell – and Marvel’s – greatest moments!

Guest-starring Black Widow, Captain America and the Incredible Hulk!
