The Defenders, comicdom's No. 1 non-team, are back - and things are about to get weird in all the best ways! As we begin, the Defenders confront Nebulon and the other-dimensional Squadron Sinister. It's an encounter that will bring Nighthawk into the fold and change the team forever! Magneto and his Ultimate Mutant strike, the Wrecking Crew debuts, Luke Cage and Daredevil join up, and Valkyrie continues the search for answers to her fractured identity! Then, Steve Gerber takes the writing reins, injecting the series with knowing absurdity and cutting social commentary in the form of the bizarre Headmen and the bigoted Sons of the Serpent! Gerber crafted challenging stories that set the tone for the Defenders going forward - and define them even today! Softcover, 464 pages, full color. Rated T Cover price $44.99.

Visionary creator Steve Gerber takes the Defenders on one of the most creative and beloved superteam eras of all time! 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. Softcover, 408 pages, full color. Rated T Cover price $44.99

Shipping methods – all items packed in a box or cardboard mailer to make sure they get to you in the condition you ordered. Check out the feedback. I’m a collector and fan and not a faceless corporation that doesn’t care about the condition of your items.
Returns – I will take back any item sold, but per ebay policy, I will decline returns or exchanges on items that have had factory shrinkwrap removed (if applicable). Inspect before opening!
Foreign Customers – I use Ebay’s International Shipping Program. Ebay collects foreign shipping fees and taxes from your payment. I cannot adjust these fees as I never see these funds. Add items to your cart before check out to save shipping fees.
Best Offers – Our offerings don't utilize this feature, and we don't accept "best offers". After you factor in labor, rent, free shipping, and fees, there is a narrow overall profit margin. We prefer to slowly lower prices if an item doesn't sell over time.
If there are problems with your order, please give me the opportunity to make it right before starting a return or leaving feedback.
