About this Collection

This volume kicks off Marvel's Masterworks line dedicated to the non-team, the Defenders, collecting the earliest appearances of the group from Marvel Feature #1 and the first six issues of their own series, The Defenders #1-6. Written by Roy Thomas and drawn by Ross Andru, these stories bring together Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and the Silver Surfer as an unlikely alliance against cosmic and mystical threats. It's a foundational collection for fans of Marvel's more unconventional superhero team-ups.

"Titans Three!" kicks off with a chilling twist: an alien conqueror named Xemnu manipulates humanity through a children’s TV show, using mind control to spread his influence. Roy Thomas and Ross Andru lead the charge in this standout Defenders tale, with Neal Adams' striking cover capturing the series’ high-stakes tone.
