Collection: Avengers – Marvel Comics – (1963–1999) – Volume 1 – #1–402

📘 Series Summary

The original, long-running flagship title for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, *Avengers* Volume 1 spanned nearly four decades and over 400 issues, establishing the team's core concepts, rotating roster, and expansive mythology. The volume begins with the founding members—**Iron Man**, **Thor**, **Hulk**, **Ant-Man**, and **Wasp**—and is quickly defined by the induction of **Captain America** in issue #4.

This series introduced dozens of major heroes and villains, setting the stage for Marvel's team-based continuity. Key highlights include the foundation of the rotating roster in issue #16, the debut of **Wonder Man** (#9), **Kang the Conqueror** (#8), **Ultron**, and **The Vision** (#57). The run features legendary arcs such as the **Kree-Skrull War** and the classic confrontation with the **Masters of Evil** (in the landmark #270-277 arc). The series was eventually concluded in 1999, as part of the Heroes Reborn initiative, before being immediately relaunched.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

• The foundational run for the Avengers, establishing the core team and the concept of the rotating membership.
• Features the crucial **first appearance of Captain America** in the modern Marvel Universe in issue **#4**.
• Introduces essential characters like **Kang the Conqueror**, **The Vision**, and **Wonder Man**, and features key appearances of **Ultron**.
• Contains classic Bronze Age and Silver Age storylines including the **Kree-Skrull War** (issues #89–97).
• A massive, continuous run (402 issues) that serves as the definitive historical record of the team up to 1999.
