The New Defenders #140, published by Marvel Comics in 1984. From the later era of Marvel’s original Defenders series. The cover features Beast, Iceman and Valkyrie alongside the New Defenders in a dramatic battle scene. Classic 60¢ Bronze/Copper Age Marvel issue with the Spider-Man head Direct Edition symbol.

The New Defenders #140 – February 1985 – Marvel Comics – Direct Edition. Original 60¢ cover price. Bagged and presents well from the
