Rating: - Frank Robbins Art Ruins This title
My brother was a huge Captain America fan, and collected the Invaders comic back in the day. I read them, but recalled with great disgust the incredibly (as has been noted, but then dismissed by a previous reviewer) amateurish, sloppy, and downright AWFUL artwork by Frank Robbins. It made enjoying these stories VERY difficult. And you'll notice, they had SOMEBODY ELSE recreate the Robbins' cover art from the first issue for the cover of this collection. If his work was that good, they wouldn't ... Read More

Some of the best comics I would sneak and get out of my older brother's box were the Invaders! A great way for marvel to add some history to comics and bring back some classic 1940's characters that we might have never heard of along with mainstream ones we know and love.
I have all these after years of searching but I jumped at the chance to get them in TPB.
Maybe one day we can get a TPB of the All Winners comics(All-Winners Squad) and other classic 1940's books! here is ... Read More
Rating: - A blast from my past
I read most of this run of comics in my youth. Oddly they fired my interest in WWII and made me dig into the facts around the superheroic adventures Marvel portrayed. I love these comics with a blind devotion but as an adult I can see flaws that weren't there for a younger me. Still, these are great tales well told and I look forward to seeing the next volumn come out. I love being able to read these books again without hunting through endless boxes of comics or trolling on eBay.

Wow! When I saw that Marvel was putting out a collection of Invaders stories I jumped for joy. I can still remember the thrill of that cover to Giant-Sized Invaders # 1 when I was a little kid. New to comics, I didn't know too much but I liked Captain America (natch) and there he was exploding off the cover. This book was really a lot of fun. And it was a decent size collection where Marvel included the issues of Marvel Premiere that introduced the Liberty Legion. Well done there. I just really ... Read More
Rating: - A completely worthwile reprint from the '70s
It's no lie that writer Roy Thomas is a fan of the Golden Age of comics. He's proven it time and again on titles like All-Star Squadron, Infinity Incorporated, Alter Ego, and even in the Avenger's Kree-Skrull War. But these all pale when it comes to the Invaders, Thomas' ultimate tribute to the Marvel Comics heroes of the Forties. INVADERS CLASSIC VOLUME 1 collects Giant-Size Invaders #1, Invaders #1-9, and Marvel Premiere #29-30... the first of Rascally Roy's retroactive adventures featuring the greatest ... Read More
