In 1973, writer Steve Englehart decided to crossover the two titles he was writing for Marvel, The Avengers and The Defenders for a summer-long epic that has come to be known as The Avengers / Defenders War! 
 
With artists Bob Brown (Avengers) and Sal Buscema (Defenders), Englehart scripted an epic tale that crossed galaxies and pitted  hero against hero against villains for the ultimate contest.  This was during a time when crossovers of this scale were not common and this story has gone on to become a legendary tale of Marvel's classic '70s era!

Back Issue Banter #26: The  Avengers / Defenders War (1973)

Here on the Mr. K's Super Show feed, we have three podcasts that cover your music and comic book needs. 
On each episode of Mr. K's Super Show, Mr. K examines, dissects, and analyzes 60s, 70s, and 80s music with the help of a special guest!  No aspect of the music is too trivial as we go back to a time when music was fun, brash, and dynamic, and it was all about spending your allowance on LPs, 45s, cassettes, and CDs!   
If you like the music of Led Zeppelin, then checkout our dedicated Led Zeppelin podcast, The Pod Remains The Same        (co-hosted by Brad Page), where we examine the catalog of one of the greatest bands of all-time.  Album-by-album, song-by-song.
If you're a comic book fan, check out our dedicated comics podcast, Back Issue Banter (co-hosted by Brad Page), where we examine the classic comics of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and the writers and artists who breathed life into them .
Check 'em all out and give 'em a listen!  You'll be glad you did!
