About the series
A 1980s revival from publisher Federal, The Defenders (1984–1986) ran for nine issues, bringing together a rotating cast of non-team heroes in a short-lived but distinct take on the classic Marvel concept. Most frequently illustrated by Al Milgrom, Don Perlin, and Ed Hannigan, the series is notable for its place in the era's superhero landscape, offering a self-contained, offbeat adventure that stands apart from the main Marvel universe.
