1st printing. Collects Infinity Gauntlet (1991) #1-6.

Written by JIM STARLIN. Art by GEORGE PÉREZ and RON LIM. Cover by GEORGE PEREZ.

For the dark Titan, Thanos, the Infinity Gauntlet was the Holy Grail, the ultimate prize to be coveted above all else. With it came omnipotence: the absolute control of all aspects of time, space, power, reality, the mind and the soul. The gaining of supreme might meant the beginning of a black nightmare for the entire universe. Now, on the edge of Armageddon and led by the mysterious Adam Warlock, Earth's super heroes join in a desperate attempt to thwart this nihilistic god's insane plunge into galactic self-destruction. Should the heroes fail, the astral gods of the universe wait to step into the fray.

But in such an awesome cosmic conflict will anyone prevail? Will anyone survive?
