Superhero teams had existed since the 1940s, but when Thor, Ant-Man, Hulk, and Iron Man joined forces as the Avengers in 1963, they broke new ground. They not only fought together, but also against one another. Their first 20 stories make up this volume in the Hulk-sized format, with the rare original issues painstakingly reproduced: a masterpiece worthy of Tony Stark’s library.

Also available as a collector’s edition limited to 1,000 copies.
