THE AVENGERS Epic Collection Volume 1 Earth's Mightiest Heroes

Gathering together to face Loki, Marvel's greatest heroes - Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Ant-Man and the Wasp — formed comics' greatest team: The Avengers! They were joined by Captain America soon after, and there was no doubt these were Earth's Mightiest Heroes! But Marvel heroes don't just battle villains, they live, breathe, argue… and even fall out. And in an innovative twist, Stan Lee eventually chose to have those original Avengers depart, leaving Captain America to carry on with a new team of heroes! Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch — all conflicted villains — became Cap's new recruits, transforming the Avengers into a dynamic, unpredictable and exciting quartet! So, grab a copy of this Epic Collection, and experience the origins and permutations of the world's most famous super-team from the very beginning! Written by Stan Lee, Larry Ivie (as "Paul Laiken"), and Larry Lieber. Art by Jack Kirby, Don Heck, Dick Ayers, Paul Reinman, Chic Stone, Vince Colletta, Frank Giacoia, and Wally Wood. Collects The Avengers (1963) #1-20.
