*Marvel: Originally conceived as a cynical marketing exercise – the enforced banding together of three solo operatives, in the Hulk, the Sub-Mariner and Doctor Strange, to create a new franchise – the Defenders grew, under the influence of its primary writer Steve Gerber, to be a significant factor in the Marvel Universe despite (because of?) its cast of super-powered hermits, misanthropes and oddballs. We have refreshed the Defenders’ first series from #3 to #48, plus Giant-Size Defenders #1, and the non-UK-distributed Marvel Feature (1st series) #3, the team’s third tryout just before they won their own mag! Marvel Feature #3 is VF/NM £55; all others, of course, may be seen in our online catalogue. SORRY, PICTURED ITEM NOW SOLD
