Description

In this early Silver Age issue published in 1963, Earth's Mightiest Heroes - Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man and the Wasp - came together to form Marvel's most powerful super-team to combat the evil of Thor's half brother Loki. Avengers was an unabashed success for Marvel on Silver and Bronze Age newsstands and remains a vital book in comic book shops today. Avengers #1 is one of the most highly sought-after of the early Silver Age Marvel keys and has long been a favorite among collectors. The movie franchise has made the beloved team a household name; both the first Avengers feature film and its sequel earned over a billion dollars at the global box office. Interest in high quality examples of the team's early appearances continues to rise, and of course this premiere issue is the most important and desirable.
