They present Earth's Mightiest Heroes in some of their most iconic adventures: the origin of Mantis, the Avengers' first conflict with Thanos and a defining Kang the Conqueror saga that spans space and time. Of course, there's plenty of personal drama opposite the action as Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch's origins are explored and two weddings bring together Marvel's heroes. New members will also join the ranks as the Beast, Hellcat and Moondragon become Avengers. This volume also features the series' letters pages as well as art and interviews from Marvel's famous fanzine F.O.O.M.! Collecting AVENGERS (1968) 120-149, GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS (1974) #1-4, CAPTAIN MARVEL (1968) #33, FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) #150 and material from FOOM (1973) #6-7 \u0026amp; #12.Steve   Englehart’s history-making contributions to the Marvel   Universe began with the Beast’s solo feature in Amazing   Adventures, in which the eloquent X-Man first   assumed furry form. As Avengers writer, he masterminded such major events as “The   Avengers\/Defenders War” (in both teams’ titles) and “The Celestial Madonna   Saga.” In Captain America,   he identified and solved the “mystery” of the 1950s Captain America (later   revived by Ed Brubaker), and gave the true Cap the alternate identity of   Nomad. Englehart’s Dr. Strange storyline in Marvel   Premiere established the character as Sorcerer   Supreme and covered the creation of the universe itself. At DC, he helped   revamp Batman, Green Lantern, Superman and other major heroes for the 1970s.   Back at Marvel, he wrote the first few years of West   Coast Avengers and Silver   Surfer. His published novels include Countdown to Flight, Hellstorm (part of the TALON Force series), Majorca, The   Point Man and, with wife Terry Beach, books in the   DNAgers young-adult   series. Englehart has also written TV episodes and designed video games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoy   Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor   under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time: Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first   10 years of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist,   Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles,   proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America.   Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the   sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJim   Starlin introduced not only Thanos but also Shang-Chi and   many other memorable characters. After seemingly killing both Adam Warlock   and Thanos in one of Marvel’s earlier multi-title cosmic arcs — for which he   won two Eagle Awards — Starlin wrote Marvel’s first graphic novel, The Death of Captain Marvel.   Returning to Marvel to write Silver Surfer, he resurrected Adam Warlock and   Thanos, both of whom figured prominently in a veritable franchise of   miniseries he wrote and\/or penciled: Infinity   Gauntlet, Infinity War, Infinity Crusade, Infinity Abyss and more, plus the Warlock and the   Infinity Watch and Thanos monthlies. Starlin continued to chart the saga of the Mad   Titan in a recent series of original graphic novels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtist   George Pérez made team titles   his specialty with runs on Marvel’s Avengers and Fantastic Four, along with DC’s Justice League of   America and New Teen   Titans, the latter co-created with Marv Wolfman.   The pair redefined the DC Universe in Crisis on   Infinite Earths. In collaboration with writer Kurt   Busiek, he returned to Avengers following the “Heroes Reborn” event. The pair surpassed   expectations with JLA\/Avengers, a 2003 crossover that featured nearly every member of both   long-running teams.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter   a start as inker to his older brother John, Sal Buscema penciled Captain America, Defenders,   Incredible Hulk and   more. Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he spread his talents   across multiple genres. His 1970s work ranged from Ms.   Marvel and Nova to Sub-Mariner and Spider-Woman’s first appearance in Marvel Spotlight. He was the   uninterrupted artist on Spectacular Spider-Man for more than one hundred issues and penciled the   web-slinger’s adventures in Marvel Team-Up, in which he and writer Bill Mantlo introduced Captain Jean   DeWolff. After handling more team-ups in the Thing’s Marvel Two-in-One, he reunited with   brother John on Steve Englehart’s Fantastic Four. He later provided inks for Tom DeFalco’s Spider-Girl titles and Thunderstrike miniseries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of   the Golden Age’s earliest talents, George Tuska (1916-2009) created characters for Fiction House, Harvey   Comics and Fawcett Comics’ Captain Marvel   Adventures, among many others. He helped launch   one of the most popular post-war genres in Lev Gleason’s Crime Does Not Pay. He eventually   provided multi-genre art for Atlas Comics, to which he returned following its   transformation into Marvel. Tuska penciled Ghost   Rider, Luke Cage: Power   Man and Sub-Mariner, as well as a 10-year Iron Man stint. At DC, he illustrated Challengers   of the Unknown and Superman, among others. As a comic-strip artist, Tuska drew Buck Rogers, Scorchy Smith and DC’s World’s Greatest Superheroes. His   final industry work was cover art for Masquerade, part of Dynamite’s Golden Age character revival, bringing him   full circle.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300353396965,"sku":"NP9781302954116","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302954116.jpg?v=1742919769","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-avengers-omnibus-vol-5-isbn-9781302954116","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
