{"product_id":"9781445688862","title":"The Avengers and New Avengers Collectibles by John Buss","description":"What can be said about what is probably `the' fantasy adventure series of the sixties? Beginning in 1961, the series ran until 1969. Most items of Avengers merchandise were issued in a two-year period, 1966-67, coinciding with the show's most popular pairing of John Steed and Emma Peel.   This is a series that continues to influence even today. Cathy Gale and Emma Peel were the first in a long line of emancipated heroines with influences being seen in many modern series, including Marvel's Black Widow. Steed returned to our screens in 1976, a little older but still losing none of his debonair style, joined by two new, younger companions, Purdy and Gambit.   Merchandising for this follow-up series was just as prolific as it had been for the original show. Both are covered within this volume.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312394744181,"sku":"9781441326737","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781445688862.jpg?v=1762821669","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781445688862","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
