He wrote the first   10 years of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist,   Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles,   proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America.   Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the   sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.John   Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a   Marvel artist — namely, How To Draw Comics the   Marvel Way — and few were better qualified. His   career dated back to the Timely\/Atlas era of the late ’40s and early ’50s.   Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema   from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run   on Avengers with the   long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time   of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title —   including his personal favorite, Conan the   Barbarian.The   unique, shadowy style of Gene Colan (1926-2011) most memorably appeared in long stints on Captain America and Daredevil, and all 70 issues of Tomb of Dracula — among the dozens   of other Marvel titles he has drawn. His DC work on Detective   Comics and Night Force is equally well remembered. During the Golden Age, he drew   multiple war stories for Marvel and DC alike. Colan has earned several Eagle   Awards and had professional art showings in New York City. His work on Ed   Brubaker’s Captain America at the age of 82 drew well-deserved raves.Barry   Windsor-Smith — best known for Marvel’s Conan and Red   Sonja — also illustrated memorable Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man and Daredevil stories; he revealed   Wolverine’s origin in the “Weapon X” serial. Windsor-Smith has also published several art books in   the tradition of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43818749984959,"sku":"9781302915346","price":200.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/9781302915346.jpg?v=1731213132","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/the-avengers-omnibus-vol-4-hardcover","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
