Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in April 1979, The Defenders #70 emerged during a period when the series had established itself as a home for Marvel's more unconventional heroes, often referred to as a non-team. This issue is part of a storied run that thrived on experimental storytelling and the subversion of traditional superhero tropes, capitalizing on the popularity of characters like Doctor Strange, Nighthawk, and the Valkyrie within the broader Marvel Universe.
The creative direction for this era of The Defenders was led by writer Ed Hannigan and artist Herb Trimpe. The design and narrative tone sought to balance high-stakes cosmic adventure with the intimate, often contentious interpersonal dynamics of its members. Upon its release, the issue was received as a quintessential example of the late-seventies Marvel aesthetic, appreciated by readers for its commitment to the group's signature brand of chaotic, character-driven heroism.
