DAY OF THE DEFENDERS...

Images copyright MARVEL COMICS

While looking through my comics recently, my eyes fell upon this one, which I remembered buying four or five years ago - or so it seemed.  Turns out it was actually 14 years back, in 2001 - time flies, eh?  It's a cracking little comicbook featuring three titanic tales, the first two sort of leading up to the formation of MARVEL's 'non-team', The DEFENDERS, and the third being their actual first 'official'  adventure.  Well worth having, I assure you.

So, while you're pondering whether to track one down on ebay (assuming you don't already have it), here's a plethora of pictures to show you what you're missing!  Feast your eyes, frantic one!  ("HULK like pretty pictures!")

And if you're interested in reading what FOOM mag #19 had to say about The Defenders, then click here, effendi.

And below is the original cover of MARVEL FEATURE #1, wherein the dynamic Defenders made their 'first' appearance.
