Description

Visionary creator Steve Gerber takes the Defenders on one of the most creative and beloved superteam eras of all time!

Written by Steve Gerber, Bill Mantlo, Len Wein, Gerry Conway, Chris Claremont, Roger Slifer and Scott Edelman
Pencilled by Sal Buscema, Don Heck and Scott Edelman

Marvel has never had a bigger team of misfits than the Defenders and the Defenders have never had a more exciting and innovative writer than Steve Gerber. Known as a "non-team" book, The Defenders left room for experimentation that other titles lacked.

From the Elf-with-a-Gun to Bambi and the Bozos, Steve Gerber used that space to push boundaries and craft a challenging critique of the era's culture. His stories are brought to life by the art team of Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson as the Headmen Saga reaches an action-packed and insightful conclusion.

This collection of classics is topped it off with MARVEL TREASURY EDITION #12's much-adored Defenders/Howard the Duck team-up.

Collecting DEFENDERS (1972) #26-41 and ANNUAL #1, GIANT-SIZE DEFENDERS #5 and MARVEL TREASURY EDITION #12.
