Collects Avengers (1963) #59-88, Incredible Hulk (1968) #140, Marvel Super-Heroes (1967) #17, material from Not Brand Echh (1967) #12. Earth's Mightiest Heroes assemble under the titanic talents of Roy Thomas, John Buscema, Sal Buscema, Gene Colan and Barry Windsor-Smith! It's page after page of Avengers classics, beginning with the wedding of the Wasp and Yellowjacket! Then, Hawkeye transforms into Goliath, Ultron re-emerges, Kang and the Grandmaster introduce the Squadron Sinister, the Black Panther infiltrates the Sons of the Serpent, and Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch return - and that's just the beginning! The barbarian Arkon invades, the Lady Liberators unite, the Squadron Supreme makes the scene, and the Black Panther's origin is revealed. This oversized Omnibus, collecting the stories that defined the Avengers and featuring every original letters page, is a must for every die-hard fan!
Roy Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time: Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first 10 years of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist, Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles, proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America. Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.
Harlan Ellison’s co-development of the microscopic world of K’ai is only one of his many contributions to comicdom, including classic tales of Daredevil, Batman and others. As a writer of speculative fiction, he is famed for such stories as “A Boy and His Dog,” “The Deathbird,” “I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream” and far too many others to list here. He also edited the controversial Dangerous Visions anthologies. As a screenwriter, he penned episodes of The Outer Limits, Star Trek, Tales from the Darkside and several other TV series; he also acted as creative consultant on the ’80s version of Twilight Zone and Babylon 5.
John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist — namely, How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way — and few were better qualified. His career dated back to the Timely/Atlas era of the late ’40s and early ’50s. Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run on Avengers with the long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title — including his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
