☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume launches the Avengers Masterworks series, collecting the earliest adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes from Avengers #1-5. It includes the team's formation to counter Loki's threat, the introduction of classic foes like Kang the Conqueror and the Space Phantom, and the first appearances of key members such as Captain America's return in issue #4. These stories by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby established the foundational tone and roster of the Avengers franchise.
The Avengers Masterworks #1 kicks off with a bold, mythic hook: Namor’s assault on an eskimo village unleashes Captain America, frozen in ice since World War II. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, the story unfolds as the newly awakened Cap joins forces with the Avengers, only to face an alien threat that petrifies them all. With art by Kirby and inks by George Roussos, and a striking cover by Kirby and Dick Ayers, this landmark issue reassembles Marvel’s mightiest heroes in a tale of resurrection, alien peril, and unexpected alliances—setting the stage for epic adventures to come.

Namor attacks a group of eskimos and throws their idol into the sea. When the ice melts, the figure trapped within turns out to be Captain America, in suspended animation since the end of World War II. The Avengers rescue Cap and return to New York. An alien figure turns our heroes to stone. When Cap and Rick Jones track him down, the alien agrees to restore the Avengers if they agree to help him recover his broken space ship in return. When doing so, the Avengers are attacked by Namor and his people. The restored spaceship ultimately drives off Namor and his men.
