The Avengers: 5 (Penguin Classics Marvel Collection)

Description

Illustrated throughout, The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents specially curated cartoon anthologies of the world's greatest superheroes Starting in 1961, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and their collaborators transformed the superhero genre with a series of new creations, including the Incredible Hulk, the Mighty Thor, and the Invincible Iron Man. In 1963, Lee and Kirby brought these characters together for the first time in a new magazine called The Avengers - adding a resurrected Captain America shortly after, and other heroes over time. This unique collection gathers key issues from the first few years of the series. A foreword by Leigh Bardugo, and a comprehensive introduction and notes by José Alaniz offer further insight into the enduring significance of The Avengers and classic Marvel comics. This Deluxe Hardcover edition features gold foil stamping, gold top stain edges, special endpapers with artwork spotlighting series villains, and full-colour art. Review: Good quality - highly recommended Review: Other books were better - I am not an expert on the Avenger and the books cover a couple of years and come with a nice introduction. Nevertheless, I was quite annoyed that they only include one part of multi-part comics. So from an Avengers-scientific standpoint it may be a great selection, for a casual reader it is a bit annoying here and there with treads ending in thin air.
