Luke Cage burst onto the comics scene in 1972 as the "Hero for Hire." Equal parts Marvel Method and Blaxploitation boldness, he was a new kind of hero for a new era. Now, the Marvel Masterworks proudly present the complete Luke Cage, Hero for Hire - the historic first title to headline an African-American super hero - in one hardcover volume! Cage's adventures depicted New York City's 1970s grit and the plight of its people unlike any other, all while incorporating larger-than-life villains including Black Mariah and Doctor Doom. From Cage's origin story to his first exploits as the hard-as-steel hero, each issue has been painstakingly restored and collected here in color for the very first time!

Luke Cage defends the streets of New York City - and even takes the fight to the outer boroughs - in this Marvel Masterworks volume completing his solo adventures! Cage will face menaces as tough as Moses Magnum, as bizarre as the Mace...and as infuriating as the Gem Theater's always unpredictable vending machine. It's all set against the gritty streets of 1970s Times Square, a location as colorful as anything Marvel's minds have ever conjured up! In addition to these fearsome foes, Cage must also battle an all-new and amped-up Chemistro, the Spear who seeks to settle a score with the man who made Luke Cage bulletproof, and an adversary as unstoppable as death itself: the IRS!
