About the series
In 2012, Marvel revisited its 1970s roots with this single-issue special that reprints the original origin of the non-team. Written by Roy Thomas with art by Ross Andru, Defenders: The Coming of the Defenders collects the classic first meeting of Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Namor, and Silver Surfer as they unite against a cosmic threat. A concise, nostalgia-driven package, it reintroduces the unconventional, rotating roster that defined the Defenders' quirky appeal.
