It was a product of the constantly-evolving 1960s yet retains a timeless charm.The creation of The New Avengers, in 1976, saw John Steed re-emerge, alongside two younger co-leads: sophisticated action girl Purdey and Gambit, a 'hard man' with a soft centre. The cultural context had changed - including the technology, music, fashions, cars, fighting styles and television drama itself - but Avengerland was able to re-establish itself. Nazi invaders, a third wave of cybernauts, Hitchcockian killer birds, a sleeping city, giant rat, a deadly health spa, a skyscraper with a destructive mind...The 1970s series is, paradoxically, both new yet also part of the rich, innovative Avengers history.Avengerland Regained draws on the knowledge of a broad range of experts and fans as it explores the final vintage of The Avengers.\"The New Avengers was a uniquely contemporary take on an old favourite, done without compromising the core values\" (Matthew Lee)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 454\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.92 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 24, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42116484497543,"sku":"9781514353301","price":27.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/80cbd6f3767cf9650777fd1993c94ce4.webp?v=1732516594","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/avengerland-regained-reassessing-the-new-avengers-the-avengers-on-film-volume-4-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
