Description: 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. COLLECTING: THE DEFENDERS (1972) #26-41, GIANT-SIZE (1974) #5 & ANNUAL (1976) #1 and MARVEL TREASURY EDITION (1974) #12.
