The Avengers

Behold an assembly of iconic adventures in The Avengers. Curated by Marvel legend Roy Thomas, this bold new edition from Folio gathers the greatest tales of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk and more. Meet the Super Hero team who united a universe in The Avengers, celebrating the 60th anniversary of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Folio teams up once again with legendary Avengers writer and Marvel editor Roy Thomas, who selects and introduces 12 exemplary tales of Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and so many more. This thrilling new collection includes a perfect replica of 1963’s The Avengers #1 by Stan 'The Man' Lee and Jack ‘The King’ Kirby, while modern Avengers artist Leinil Francis Yu provides original cover art featuring bold contemporary visions of team-members old and new. The Avengers unifies Folio’s previous Marvel collections – including Captain America, Thor and Hulk – exploring how these characters lived and battled within a single shared universe. Having co-created several Avengers himself – Vision, Luke Cage and Carol Danvers (Captain Marvel) – Roy Thomas provides an expert introduction to his selected stories, each one scanned from their original comics with no digital remastering. This truly authentic collection spans six decades of Avengers history, from Captain America’s awakening from his War-time slumber in Captain America Joins . . . The Avengers!, to the debut of the troubled android hero known as Vision, and quirky time-travel tale Go West, Young Gods! Equally dazzling is the roster of superpowered creative talent gathered here, from the dynamic action sequences of Neal Adams and John Buscema, to the dark modern realism of David Finch and Jerome Opeña, and the hyper-detailed space-scapes of George Perez and Jim Starlin. From their street-level origins to their exploits in the furthest reaches of the cosmos facing Thanos and Adam Warlock, The Avengers brings you historic alliances, pivotal break-ups and earth-shattering catastrophes.
