So earlier today, someone from this thread >>82658416 requested a storytime about the Headmen, and given I have Steve Gerber's run of the Defenders, I'm going to storytime one of the Headmen's most memorable and best stories. Get ready for some typical Gerber weird shit.
>>82675961
I don't know if I should cry or laugh of this scene.
>>82676002
Poor "Bambi'.
>>82676002
Both.
>>82676671
You can see Gerber had fun writing the dialogues of the child-like version of Hulk.
>>82676771
Oh hey, there she is!
>>82676799
Shrunken Bones for waifu's material.
Is Gerber's Defenders collected? I read a chunk of it a while back but never returned to it even though I really liked it. Made me like Valkyrie for god's sake
>>82677285
>>82677284
Last time I checked, his run is being re-published through the Marvel Masterworks books. Makes me wonder if they will release either in Epic Collection or the Complete Collection series like they are doing with his Man-Thing and Howard the Duck.
>>82677477
Bambi for Defenders' most menacing villain.
>>82677738
Geez, what an introduction.
>>82677845
Some of this stuff reminds me of a bit of Grant Morrison's Brotherhood of Dada, with both groups aiming to have a global plan but going beyond the typical world domination scheme.
>>82677969
The British Invasion writers were pretty heavily influenced by Gerber.
>>82676849
That's my kinda technological perversion.
Sal Buscema deserves props for being the perfect artist for this kind of madness. He's so middle-of-the-road classic Marvel in his art approach that he makes it funnier than if it had "quirky" art.
>>82678328
>>82678248
Yeah, I agree with that.
>>82679410
Chondu had a hard life...
>>82677285
All of it's in the Essential collections.
>>82679946
>>82679894
Are the Essentials still up to purchase? Last time I heard, some of them got out of print.
>>82679972
By the way, I'm taking time to upload the pages because captcha got worse than usual right now.
>>82677503
>Hulk
>Valkyrie
>Strange
What a strange team
>>82681988
>>82682003
Starring in a much stranger story.
>>82682813
This is the last chapter of the arc, folks.
>>82682954
Would you vote Ruby Thursday for president?
>>82677969
Yeah, they remind me of them too. They're just a social club for people with weird powers and mutations
>>82683785
And so it ends.
Hope the guys who came to read this enjoyed the ride.
>>82678833
that exploitable last panel tho
>>82683119
>Defenders vs. Scientology
The ghost of my sides is being nuked in a volcano
>>82683842
Thanks OP. I never realized how bonkers the Defenders were.
