A crucial chapter in the Marvel story
Having co-created several Avengers himself – Vision, Luke Cage and Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) – Roy Thomas provides an expert introduction to his selected stories, each one scanned from their original comics with no digital remastering. This truly authentic collection spans six decades of Avengers history, from Captain America’s awakening from his War-time slumber in Captain America Joins . . . The Avengers!, to the debut of the troubled android hero known as Vision, and quirky time-travel tale Go West, Young Gods! Equally dazzling is the roster of superpowered creative talent gathered here, from the dynamic action sequences of Neal Adams and John Buscema, to the dark modern realism of David Finch and Jerome Opeña, and the hyper-detailed space-scapes of George Perez and Jim Starlin. From their street-level origins to their exploits in the furthest reaches of the cosmos facing Thanos and Adam Warlock, The Avengers brings you historic alliances, pivotal break-ups and earth-shattering catastrophes.
