| Summary, Etc. |
Luke Cage burst onto the comics scene in 1972 as the "Hero for Hire". He was a new kind of hero for a new era, the historic first African-American character to headline his own series. Cage's adventures depicted New York City's 1970s grit and the plight of its people, all while incorporating larger-than-life villains like Black Mariah and Doctor Doom. This Epic Collection presents page after page of classic Luke Cage adventures, including his origin, his growing relationship with Clare Temple, the first appearance of Cottonmouth, a battle with Iron Man, and a fight to the finish for the name Power Man.
