*Marvel: Marvel Feature (1st series), one of the multitudinous ‘spotlight’ titles of the 70s, introduced the world to the Defenders, an amalgam of loners – the Hulk, Sub-Mariner, Doctor Strange and sometimes the Silver Surfer – who didn’t belong on any team temperamentally, but circumstances kept forcing them to combine forces. This odd ‘hook’ so intrigued the readership that shortly afterward, the Defenders gained their own title, which in its first series achieved a respectable 150+ run and has been periodically revived ever since. This is the very first Defenders #1, VG- (would grade higher but for moderate wear at upper cover edge and lower left corner) on sale at £40. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
