Splash page from DEFENDERS 3 with quote from "Four Quartets" and T.S. Eliot page from The Norton Anthology Of American literature. I remember in college getting a big kick out of finding "Four Quartets" on the reading list and remembering this Defenders adventure. 😁

DEFENDERS #2 (OCT 1972) - Although the Silver Surfer appeared briefly in "Marvel Feature" 1 and fought beside Namor and Hulk in "Sub-Mariner" 34 & 35, this is his first appearance as a Defender -- completing Roy Thomas' original concept for the team as a gathering of Marvel's most antisocial heroes.
