The Defenders Omnibus Vol. 2

Collected - in complete - in this Omnibus edition, we present Steve Gerber''s definitive Defenders run! Using The Defenders'' unlikely cast of misfits, Gerber turned Marvel''s ''non-team'' into a locus of innovation by deconstructing genre conventions and adding a healthy dose of absurdity. From the Elf With a Gun to Bambi and the Bozos, each storyline is a challenging critique of the era''s culture, while the Headmen Saga is one of the high points in Gerber''s celebrated career. They''re stories that inspired a generation of creators and changed the course of comics history. This volume also boasts artwork by the stellar team of Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson and is topped off with the classic Defenders/Howard the Duck Marvel Treasury Edition. Collecting: Defenders (1972) #20-41 and Annual #1, Giant-Size Defenders #3-5, Marvel Two-In-One (1974) #6-7 and Marvel Treasury Edition #12 - plus material from Mystery Tales #21, World of Fantasy #11 and Tales of Suspense (1959) #9
