I Difensori

In the late 1970s, Editoriale Corno launched I Difensori, a 15-issue series reprinting the wild and woolly adventures of Marvel's non-team of misfit heroes. Assembling work from legendary talents like Jack Kirby, Gil Kane, and Ed Hannigan, the series brought the original Defenders' run—featuring the Hulk, Doctor Strange, and Namor—to Italian readers. It stands as a key artifact of Corno's ambitious effort to introduce Marvel's weirder corners to an international audience.
