Collects Avengers (1963) #112-119, Defenders (1972) #8-11 and material from FOOM Magazine #5-7.
*Earth's Mightiest Heroes fight one of the greatest battles in super hero history in the pages of this Marvel Masterworks spectacular! It's hero against hero in the sensational summer hit of 1973 — the Avengers/Defenders War. Cap vs. Namor! Thor vs. Hulk! It's the original crossover clash and there's never been another one like it.
But before our heroes take sides against each other, there's even more trend-setting classics in store for you: Mantis makes her first appearance; the Lion God brings the Avengers to their knees; Vision and the Scarlet Witch's relationship blossoms, but not without the intolerant objections of others; and the Swordsman joins the ranks of the Avengers.
And as an added bonus feature we're including rare Avengers pinups, profiles and an interview with the Avengers' own Jarvis, all from the pages of the '70s fan-mag F.O.O.M.! *Source: marvel.com
