MARVEL COMICS FOR MARCH -- TRADE PAPERBACKS

MARVEL MASTERWORKS: IRON FIST VOL. 1 HC

Written by ROY THOMAS, CHRIS CLAREMONT, LEN WEIN, DOUG MOENCH & TONY ISABELLA Penciled by GIL KANE, JOHN BYRNE, LARRY HAMA, ARVELL JONES & PAT BRODERICK Cover by GIL KANE

In 1974, nobody was kung-fu fighting like Marvel Comics, and at the forefront of the craze was Daniel Rand -- the Iron Fist! A Himalayan expedition in search of the mystical mountain city of K'un-Lun left 9-year-old Daniel's father murdered by his partner Harold Meachum and his mother dead. However, Daniel found the path to the K'un-Lun, and there he spent a decade training under its immortal inhabitants. After years of ceaseless tutelage, he became an unmatched master of martial arts and spiritual control; armed with the shattering power of the iron fist, he left immortality behind to set out into the Western world and avenge his parents' deaths. Packed with wall-to-wall kung-fu action, Iron Fist runs a gauntlet through the Kara-Kai death cult and ninja adversaries, and into mystic dimensions where the battle must be fought with mind and spirit. But Iron Fist's saga not only follows Daniel Rand's quest for vengeance -- it also introduces Marvel mainstays Colleen Wing and Misty Knight, guest stars the Marvel Bullpen, and brings together for the very first time the creative team of Chris Claremont and John Byrne! It's the beginnings of a true comic-book classic that can only be called a MARVEL MASTERWORKS! Collecting MARVEL PREMIERE #15-25 and IRON FIST #1-2.

MARVEL MASTERWORKS: THE AVENGERS VOL. 3 TPB

Written by STAN LEE Penciled by DON HECK Cover by JACK KIRBY & DEAN WHITE

Thor, Giant-Man and the Wasp with a trio of former super villains, readers thought he'd gone mad.

Conqueror, Doctor Doom, Power Man and the Enchantress, and Attuma will prove that the Avengers are the world's
preeminent heroes -- while revelations like Captain America's departure will test the team at its most fundamental level. But it won't just be Cap's Kooky Quartet against the world forever.
