Provenance

Where it came from

The Defenders #62, published by Marvel Comics in 1978, emerged during a transitional period for the title as it navigated its identity as a non-traditional team book. Coming out of the late 1970s Marvel era, this issue contributed to the series' reputation for blending metaphysical concepts with street-level superhero action. By this point in the publication history, the book had moved past its initial experimental phase and leaned into the eccentric, often irreverent character dynamics that defined the Defenders' roster.

The issue was written by David Kraft with art by Ed Hannigan and Joe Staton. The design and visual narrative focused on balancing the eclectic personalities of characters like Nighthawk, Hellcat, and Valkyrie. The creative team aimed to maintain the title's unique spirit, which often favored character-driven drama and surreal plotlines over the more rigid, team-based tropes found in other Marvel titles of the decade. It remains a notable entry for collectors interested in the long-running development of Marvel's more unconventional teams.
