DescriptionIconic splash of the Defenders from their best period, depicted as they meet Gerber's creation Howard the Duck. Defenders plus Sal Buscema plus Janson inks plus Gerber make this a truly special piece for me. Many many thanks to Andrew Van Embden, who loved it as much as I do but was still willing to listen!Interestingly, the art is slightly smaller than standard art, as it looks like the oversized comic was shot 1:1 from the original. Still, the large images of the characters more than compensate. Always looking for high end Defenders art from this period! Social/Sharing |

Wow- was shocked when you didn't get it and shocked again that you were able to work it out to get it.

Great piece Carlo. Glad you got it in the end. The defenders rock. If only Marvel would stick with a new defenders series long enough to give it traction, then a whole new generation would get to enjoy the greatest non-team ever. Here's hoping...

Such a great 1970s Marvel page--totally represents that era, with some of the coolest (and weirdest) Marvel heroes!

It was the story that had to happen - Howard teaming up with the classic non-team, the Defenders - and what an amazing page to have from that story! Congratulations!

I read this book until the cover dropped off. Hard to believe I never noticed just how HUGE the Hulk's feet were behind Doctor Strange! Love Janson's inks on Buscema's pencils.

I don't normally like to comment a second time, but seeing this again I have to. It's just stunning, and conveys that childhood sense of awe at seeing a superhero team gathering inside some secret hideaway. Wonderful!
