About this Collection

This Barnes & Noble exclusive edition of Marvel Masterworks: The Avengers, Volume 1 collects the earliest adventures of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, reprinting The Avengers #1-10 and material from Journey into Mystery #101. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby, this foundational volume introduces the original team lineup of Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp, and the Hulk, and pits them against classic villains including Loki, the Space Phantom, Kang the Conqueror, and the combined might of Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil. It also marks the return of Captain America from suspended animation and the debut of Wonder Man, setting the stage for the series' enduring legacy.
