About this Collection
This fifth volume of Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers collects the classic late-1960s issues that saw the team expand with new members and face off against a rogues' gallery including the Living Laser, Power Man, and the Swordsman. Key storylines feature the return of the Enchantress and Executioner, the debut of the second Goliath (Clint Barton), and the introduction of the Vision, while the roster shifts to include Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch alongside stalwarts like Captain America, Iron Man, and Thor. The collection showcases the creative team of writer Roy Thomas and artists such as John Buscema and Don Heck, cementing the era's blend of cosmic threats and personal drama.
