Essential Defenders #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects issues #41-65 and Giant-Size Defenders #3-5, continuing the non-team's adventures through the mid-1970s. The Defenders—Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Namor, and Valkyrie—face threats like the Sons of the Serpent, the Headmen, and the return of the original Human Torch, all presented in black-and-white on newsprint as part of Marvel's Essential line.
In "Nighthawk's Brain!", the Defenders are scattered across the globe as the Headmen strike with terrifying precision—Nighthawk and Red Guardian face off in France, Power Man and Valkyrie are shrunk to doll-size in India, and Jack Norriss is captured by Ruby Thursday, all while Dr. Strange and Nebulon fall into enemy hands. Steve Gerber’s sharp storytelling and Sal Buscema’s dynamic art bring the chaos to life, with Klaus Janson’s inks adding depth to every panel, all framed by Al Milgrom’s bold cover.
