American Update: ‘Okay Axis, Here We Come!’ Virtually complete run of WWII set Invaders
*Marvel: Following a ‘pilot’ in an issue of Avengers, Roy Thomas returned, several years later, to an idea of a World War II set series with Marvel’s Golden Age ‘Big Three’, Captain America, Sub-Mariner and the original Human Torch, in an ongoing series pitted against the Axis forces. In 1975, he finally got his wish, and the Invaders ran for 41 issues (plus an Annual and the Giant-Size ‘tryout’ issue), featuring many of the Golden Age villains (well, you couldn’t fight Nazis all the time) plus new characters such as Union Jack, Spitfire, Baron Blood and the Liberty Legion, a homefront alliance of lesser 1940s super-stars! We have a virtually complete run of Invaders, lacking only the Giant-Size Invaders #1 ‘pilot’ and the first ongoing issue, but complete from #2 to the final #41, and the one and only Annual (pictured VF- £25), not distributed on these shores and featuring the work of surviving Golden Age artists including the legendary Alex Schomburg.
