How I missed out on this title for the first 25 years of my comic book reading career is beyond me.<br /><br />I've never read any of the Marvel horror stuff from the 70's. Nothing against 'em, I think I'm just afraid of opening up a new genre to collect if I do start reading.TomO.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08944846588700304555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596622866235692809.post-46650176676322332622010-12-29T18:47:15.465-05:002010-12-29T18:47:15.465-05:00The Defenders is, along with Tomb of Dracula, my f...The Defenders is, along with Tomb of Dracula, my favourite strip of the 1970s.

D'oh!<br /><br />I'm definitely looking before the year is out as an early Christmas present to myself, so I'll keep a particular eye out for issues #21-25.<br /><br />Thanks for the tip!TomO.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08944846588700304555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6596622866235692809.post-13596129493753516612009-12-08T08:34:16.884-05:002009-12-08T08:34:16.884-05:00I love the old Defenders!

Best of all are the issues written by Steve Gerber, the Grant Morrison of the 70s. Sometime you might want to check out issues 21-25, which have the Defenders fighting a white supremicist religious cult.<br /><br />If I ever happen to come across this particular issue, I'll probably pick it up now.<br /><br />--Thelonious NickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
