Description: By early 1963 the foundations of the Marvel Universe had been laid. Following the introduction of the Fantastic Four in 1961 came the amazing (Spider - Man) the astonishing (Ant - Man) the strange (Doctor that is) the incredible (Hulk) the invincible (Iron Man) and the mighty (Thor). Still Marvel editor in chief Stan Lee realized something was missing. I was writing these characters and I thought it would fun to put them together in a team he recalled. So Lee and artist Jack Kirby assembled Iron Man Ant - Man and the Wasp Thor and the Hulk to create the Avengers. Right away it was clear this team was different. If the Fantastic Four were family then the Avengers were the co - workers you didn t choose. Not everyone got along the Hulk fought with everyone but working together they could defeat the baddest of Marvel's bad guys like Loki Kang the Conqueror the Masters of Evil and Immortus. The lineup was ever changing: The Hulk departed Captain America joined and Ant - Man grew up to become Giant - Man. Then remarkably villains Hawkeye Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch became heroes and Avengers and the group's founding members shockingly departed leaving Captain America to lead the newly - minted heroes. Relive the classic early adventures of Avengers Nos. 1 20 in an XXL - sized edition that's bigger than the Hulk's fist weightier than Thor's hammer and with more extras than Iron Man's armor. Taschen has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has then been digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive imperfect printing as if hot off of a world - class 1960s printing press. Accompanying the stories are an original foreword by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and an in - depth history by the Eisner Award - winning writer Kurt Busiek that's illustrated with original art little - seen photographs and rare documents. This mighty collection about Earth's Mightiest Heroes is worthy of Tony Stark's library or yours. Also available in a Collector's Edition of 1,000 numbered copies. 2022 Marvel
