Marvel Masterworks: The Defenders Vol. 9 [DM Only] Pre-order

J.M. DeMatteis begins his celebrated tenure with comics’ most famous non-team, the Defenders! Along with artist Don Perlin, he’ll take Doctor Strange, the Hulk, Nighthawk, Hellcat and the Son of Satan on wild adventures into the occult – and against each other! These weird tales begin with a broken Eternity; evolve to include demons, Dracula and the Devil-Slayer; and culminate in a double-sized issue #100 extravaganza! If the Defenders can’t prevail, it’ll be hell on Earth – literally! Collectively known as “The Six-Fingered Hand Saga,” it’s one of the most compelling Defenders adventures of all time. This beautiful hardcover edition also features the first appearance of the Gargoyle, the return of original Defenders the Silver Surfer and the Sub-Mariner, and a tragic turn for Nighthawk! Collecting DEFENDERS (1972) #92-102 and MARVEL TEAM-UP (1972) #101.
