Where it came from
The Defenders #109, published in July 1982, arrived during a transitional period for the title as it moved toward a more ensemble-focused, quirky dynamic. Written by J.M. DeMatteis with art by Don Perlin, the issue is part of a run that emphasized the offbeat, non-traditional nature of the team, often positioning them as a functional family of misfits rather than the conventional hero groups typical of the era.
The cover and interior work reflect the house style of Marvel Comics in the early 1980s, prioritizing character-driven dialogue and high-stakes supernatural melodrama. Don Perlin’s work on the series is particularly noted by collectors for its consistency and readability, providing a grounded visual anchor for DeMatteis's complex, frequently psychological scripts that sought to balance humor with the grim, gothic undertones characteristic of the Defenders' adventures.
