This Marvel Omnibus collects the classic solo adventures of key Guardians of the Galaxy members from the 1970s and 1980s, including Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Drax the Destroyer. It features material from titles like Marvel Preview, The Incredible Hulk, and Tales to Astonish, showcasing the original pre-2008 versions of these characters before their modern team-up. A comprehensive volume for fans of the cosmic side of Marvel's Silver and Bronze Ages.
In "I Challenged... Groot! The Monster from Planet X!", a galactic monarch descends on Earth with a bizarre plan involving a town and a mysterious experiment. When the hero faces off against Groot, it's not with fists or firepower—but with an unexpected army of termites. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this classic tale is brought to life in vivid colors by Stan Goldberg and bold lettering by Ray Holloway. The striking cover, painted by Alex Ross, captures the alien spectacle in all its dramatic detail.
Contains 55 stories
