Doctor Strange, the Hulk, the Sub-Mariner, the Silver Surfer and Valkyrie. They are the dynamic Defenders, comics' greatest "non-team," and they do not rely on bylaws and butlers.

This massive Omnibus also introduces Hawkeye, the Black Knight, Daredevil, Luke Cage, Son of Satan and Nighthawk as Defenders in classic adventures. It's a must-have edition collecting the complete Defenders runs of Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart and Len Wein in one beautifully restored volume.

The Defenders Omnibus Vol. 1

The 1939 creation of the Sub-Mariner for the first issue of Marvel Comics assures Bill Everett a place in history. Co-creating Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, for Marvel Comics in 1964 gave Everett a link to one of the most popular superheroes of the past 50 years. And producing over 400 additional pages of superhero-related work in the very early days of the Golden Age of Comics (1938-42) makes Bill Everett a legend. This book collects over 200 pages of this never-before-reprinted work from titles such as Amazing Mystery Funnies (1938), Amazing-Man Comics (1939), Target Comics(1940), Heroic Comics (1940), and Blue Bolt Comics (1940). These titles feature an endless array of great vintage Everett characters such as Amazing-Man, Hydroman, Skyrocket Steele, Sub-Zero, The Chameleon, and many more, all produced by Everett’s shop Funnies, Inc. for such clients as Centaur, Novelty Press, and Eastern Color, and all displaying Everett’s brilliant cartooning and energetic storytelling.

Bill Everett Archives Vol. 1

Amazing Mysteries

Allen L. Kirby

Reprint of fully restored Amazing-Man Comics #5-11 (1939-1940), with additional information about Bill Everett, the Centaur "Comic Group" and the actual copyright status of the comics. Created by Bill Everett at the very start of his career, John Aman, the Amazing-Man, was the leading hero of Centaur, one of the earliest Golden Age comic book publisher. An orphan raised by enlighted Tibetan monks to achieve ultra-manhood, he truly is John “a-man”, an archetype of human perfection, whose powers are a personal achievement anybody could attain, if given the opportunity to reach its full potential. Neither an alien from another planet nor a mutant with a twisted genetic code, Amazing-man is a human being with a bright and a dark side, like any other... Optimized for iPad and 1024x768 pixel tablets.
