Luke Cage burst onto the comics scene in 1972 as the "Hero for Hire!" Equal parts Marvel Method and Blaxploitation boldness, Cage was a new kind of hero for a new era, the historic first African American character to headline his own series.
Cage's adventures depicted New York City's 1970s grit and the plight of its people with a realism that was gripping in its time, all while incorporating larger-than-life villains, including Black Mariah and Doctor Doom!
This Epic Collection presents page after page of classic Luke Cage adventures, including his amazing origin, his growing relationship with Claire Temple, the first appearance of Cottonmouth, a battle against Iron Man and a fight to the finish with a classic Marvel foe for the name Power Man!
Softcover, pages, full color.

Luke Cage defends the streets of New York City, and even takes the fight to the outer boroughs, in this Epic Collection completing his solo adventures!

It's all set against the gritty streets of 1970s Times Square, a location as colorful as anything Marvel's minds have ever conjured up. Cage will also face an all-new and amped-up Chemistro; the Spear, who seeks to settle a score with the man who made Luke Cage bulletproof; and an adversary as unstoppable as death itself: the IRS! Also featuring the debut of Bill Foster as Giant-Man - and the one and only Piranha Jones! Softcover, 472 pages, full color. Rated T Cover price $44.99.
