It was 1961 and out of the fertile imaginations of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and others emerged the Marvel Age. First came the Fantastic Four, soon to be followed by the Amazing Spider-Man, the Mighty Thor, the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Iron Man, and the Uncanny X-Men. These were Marvel's heroes, stalwart and true, ready to face any and all threats to mankind. Marvel Masterworks were created to give fans a chance to experience this phenomenon from the beginning.

Volume 9 - 1st printing. "The Avengers: Book 2!" Collects The Avengers (1963-1996 1st Series) #11-20.

Written by Stan Lee, Larry Ivie, and Larry Lieber. Art by Jack Kirby, Don Heck, Chic Stone, Dick Ayers, Mike Esposito, and Wally Wood. Cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone. Introduction by Stan Lee.

Brought together to fight the biggest menaces in the Marvel Universe, Iron Man, Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp represented the heavy-hitters of the super-hero set, but Marvel heroes don't just hang out, they live, breathe, argue-and even fall out.

In an innovative twist that would come to define the Avengers, Stan Lee chose to have those original Avengers depart, leaving Captain America alone to carry on. But it was who replaced them that really got reader's attention. Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch-all conflicted and villains in their own right-became Cap 's new recruits creating a dynamic, unpredictable and exciting quartet that to many would become the Avengers's heart and soul. So sit and back enjoy the evolution of Earth's Mightiest Heroes as they battle Kang the Conqueror, the Mole Man, the Red Ghost, Count Nefaria, Baron Zemo's Masters of Evil, the Mandarin and the Swordsman.

With guest appearances by Spider-Man the Incredible Hulk himself, it's a Marvel Masterwork from beginning to end!

FIELD TRIP!

That's 'Field Trip' as defined in the Lee/Kirby Dictionary, which means you'd better pack that bag lunch in unstable molecules and strap yourself in for a trip around the universe beyond your wildest imagination! First stop: A little visit to the neighbor's place, and hanging with the incomparable Inhumans and titanic team-up against Maximus the Mad! Second stop: Europe. Paris is beautiful in the springtime, but that's nothing. According to the brochure, Latveria's lovely year round. You might want to take that visitor's guide with a grain of salt, though. The savvy traveler never trusts a Chamber of Commerce run by Doombots. Third stop: Down under. Way down under for a big-time battle with the Mole Man! Last stop: Now here's a trip that's far out. The ever lovin' blue-eyed Thing gets whisked away on a galactic tour as a gladiator in the scurrilous Skrulls' slave arena!

If that's not enough outer-space exotica for ya, then welcome yourself to a world wrapped in the Roarin' Twenties! With tour guides like Stan and Jack, you'd best make those travel plans today, True Believer.
