The Order (2002 Marvel 1st Series) 1 CGC 9.6

Paper: White

Label #4527560011

Cover by Carlos Pacheco and Jesus Merino. Written by Kurt Busiek and Jo Duffy. THE SCOOP: The Hulk, Dr. Strange, Namor, and Silver Surfer take over the world! - THE STORY: Plagued by the curse which draws them together in times of crisis, four of Marvel's most powerful characters have turned against humanity and are attacking the Earth - for its own good! Only Nighthawk knows the reason why - but he, Valkyrie and Hellcat are among their first targets! - THE WRITER SPEAKS: "The Big Four Defenders, furious beyond reason at the continuing indignity of the curse, decide that if they're to be forced to defend the planet, no matter what it does to their lives and other responsibilities, they're going to do it in the most efficient way possible. They're going to rule the earth," Kurt Busiek told Newsarama. "That way, they can keep it running in an orderly and peaceful manner, keep disruptions to a minimum, and attend to their duties as Defenders without destroying their lives as individuals. That's the theory, at least. But naturally, people object ? not just the billions being ruled, but armies, governments, and superheroes, including the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, the Avengers and more. But let's face it, these are the Defenders. They include the Sorcerer Supreme of this plane of reality, a wielder of the Power Cosmic, the monarch of Atlantis who commands the monsters of the seas and the single mightiest creature ever to walk the face of the Earth. They may very well be able to take on any and all opposition, and lay them out flat." - THE FORMAT: The debut issue of this six-issue, monthly series is 32 pages, with ads. FC, 32pgs. Cover price $2.25.
