I think the contrasts in the team members are one of the strong points (Dr. Strange and Hulk for example).<br /><br />Even the super-villains they fight are offbeat. Xemnu and Yandroth are classics here!<br /><br />I've recently started re-reading the Marvel Essentials series (in B&W again!). I must track down some of the original US comics sometime.<br /><br />There is a new comic vol 2 (I suppose) of The Defenders that I keep meaning to pick up.thargnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-8980082209871303452012-06-01T06:49:32.907+01:002012-06-01T06:49:32.907+01:00Steve Gerber's Defenders stories are some of m...Steve Gerber's Defenders stories are some of my favorite comics ever. In Englehart's run, the absurdities were unintentional, but with Gerber they're mostly well-thought out and loads of fun, even if often miserable for our heroes!Fred W.

In the end I got it by accident as part of a job lot of over a hundred 1970s' comics.<br /><br />Was the UK reprint in Rampage Comic by any chance?Steve.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-69130809380143571452010-04-20T00:11:15.841+01:002010-04-20T00:11:15.841+01:00Hey, Steve!

I've always loved Gerber's Defenders ( yay! ) but I haven't got this issue ( boo! ), although I did read a Marvel UK reprint ( yay! )... which I've since sold ( boo! )<br />Keep up the good work, mate, and look out for elves!Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.com
