Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers #25

Collecting The Avengers Nos. 255–263, Annual No. 14, Marvel Graphic Novel No. 27, and Fantastic Four No. 286, this twenty-fifth Marvel Masterworks volume gathers a substantial run of Mighty Avengers adventures by Roger Stern and John Buscema, with David Michelini, Bob Hall, and John Byrne also contributing. Tom Palmer's cover, rendered in his pencils, inks, and colors, presents a radiant golden figure — arms raised triumphantly — set against a cosmic burst of light, with the giant faces of Captain America, a bearded man, and a helmeted figure looming dramatically in the background. It's a striking, space-spanning image that perfectly captures the scope of what awaits inside this handsome hardcover collection.
