Collects Defenders (1972) #26-41 And Annual #1, Giant-Size Defenders #5 And Marvel Treasury Edition #12. Presenting the greatest and most anarchic Defenders saga of all time! Marvel has never had a bigger team of misfits than the Defenders - and the Defenders have never had a more exciting and innovative writer than Steve Gerber. Known as a "non-team" book, DEFENDERS left room for experimentation that other titles lacked. From the Elf with a Gun to Bambi and the Bozos, Steve Gerber used that space to push boundaries and craft a challenging critique of the era's culture. His stories are brought to life by the art team of Sal Buscema and Klaus Janson as the Headmen Saga reaches an action-packed and insightful conclusion. This collection of classics is topped it off with MARVEL TREASURY EDITION #12's much-adored Defenders/Howard the Duck team-up!
