It includes issues #1-10 of the first series, featuring the team's formation by Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and the Wasp, along with the return of Captain America from suspended animation. The stories, by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, establish the team's classic rogues gallery including Loki and Kang the Conqueror.
In this standout tale from Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers #1 [Fourth Edition], the Avengers grapple with the fallout of the Hulk’s departure, only to face him again—this time as a threat. When the Sub-Mariner learns of the Hulk’s presence, an unexpected alliance forms between the two giants, setting the stage for a clash that tests the limits of loyalty and power.
In a frozen Arctic mystery, Captain America awakens from decades-long suspended animation after Namor’s attack on an eskimo village. The Avengers, now reunited with their long-lost leader, face a new threat when an alien forces them to help recover his shattered spacecraft—only to be ambushed by Namor and his forces. With the fate of the team hanging in the balance, Cap and Rick Jones must uncover the alien’s true intentions before it’s too late.
In "Kang, The Conqueror!", the time-traveling tyrant Kang arrives with an ultimatum: rule Earth or face annihilation. As the Avengers struggle against his overwhelming power, it's up to Wasp and the Teen Brigade to buy just enough time for the team to break free and turn the tide.
In "The Avengers Break Up!", Immortus arrives with a shocking proposition: he wants to join the Masters of Evil, wielding his mastery of Limbo to summon ancient forces and challenge the Avengers. As the team’s unity is tested by unexpected alliances and time-bending threats, old loyalties are pushed to the edge.
