Guardians of the Galaxy: Tomorrow's Avengers #1
This 2012 Marvel collection gathers the earliest adventures of the original Guardians of the Galaxy, a team of heroes from a distant future. It reprints key stories from the 1970s featuring the classic lineup of Vance Astro, Yondu, Martinex, Charlie-27, and Starhawk, as they defend the solar system from threats like the Badoon. The volume serves as a foundational look at the team that predates the modern cosmic series and films.
"Guardians of the Galaxy!" kicks off with a chaotic day at the zoo when the childlike alien Wundarr accidentally sets the animals free, drawing the attention of the Thing, Steve, and Sharon. With Namorita stepping in to help, the situation takes a surprising turn when the trio returns to the Baxter Building to find a mysterious woman from the future—Tarin—warning of an impending Badoon invasion. Written by Steve Gerber and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with inks by Frank Giacoia and colors by Petra Goldberg, this 2012 Marvel issue features a cover by Al Milgrom.
