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)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Piers Johnson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 151435330X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514353301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.92d","brand":"Piers Johnson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124397142271,"sku":"9781514353301","price":20.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d36a1e53-e798-4e7d-9bb1-3cda323e7548.jpg?v=1687436526","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/avengerland-regained-piers-johnson-9781514353301","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
