Marvel Masterworks: The Defenders

Marvel’s classic non-team gets the archival treatment in this series, collecting the early adventures of The Defenders from the 1970s. Assembled by writers like Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, and Ed Hannigan, and illustrated by such talents as Herb Trimpe, John Romita, and Gil Kane, these stories follow the unlikely alliance of the Hulk, Doctor Strange, and Nighthawk as they unite against cosmic and mystical threats. Published from 2008 to 2024 across nine volumes, this line captures the freewheeling, anything-goes spirit that made the original run a cult favorite.
