MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE AVENGERS VOL. 14 HC
Written by STEVE ENGLEHART with ROY THOMAS
Penciled by SAL BUSCEMA & DAVE COCKRUM with GEORGE TUSKA & DON HECK
Cover by RON WILSON
Prepare yourself for one of the greatest sagas in Avengers history: the
Celestial Madonna! Throughout his AVENGERS run, writer Steve Englehart
slowly built the mysterious Mantis into one of the ’70s most intriguing
characters. Here, her tale reaches its cosmic climax in a series of
adventures spanning space and time! The action begins when Kang the
Conqueror arrives on the scene — and before it’s over Hawkeye will
return; an Avenger will die; the Legion of the Unliving shall rise; and
Kang, Rama-Tut and Immortus will have time-twisted you in two! And
that’s just for starters, as this volume presents the origin of the
Vision and the android Avenger’s wedding to the Scarlet Witch! They’re
Marvel Masterworks, one and all! Collecting AVENGERS (1963) #129-135,
GIANT-SIZE AVENGERS #2-4 and FOOM #12.
