The Marvel Feature #1 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of the Defenders as a team, cover-dated December 1971. The non-team of Doctor Strange, Hulk, and Namor became a durable Marvel franchise, and this is where the line-up first assembles.
How to identify it
Marvel Feature #1, December 1971. Marvel Feature was a try-out title, so confirm the issue number rather than relying on the series name.
Common mistakes
Buying a Defenders solo-series #1 (1972) as the first appearance. The team debuts in Marvel Feature #1.
Grade considerations
An early-70s book from a lower-profile title, so high-grade survival is limited. Spine stress and tanning dominate.
