Roy William Thomas, Jr. (born November 22, 1940) is an American comic book writer and editor, who was Stan Lee's first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. He is possibly best known for introducing the pulp magazine hero Conan the Barbarian to American comics, with a series that added to the storyline of Robert E. Howard's character and helped launch a sword and sorcery trend in comics. Thomas is also known for his championing of Golden Age comic-book heroes – particularly the 1940s superhero team the Justice Society of America – and for lengthy writing stints on Marvel's X-Men and Avengers, and DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, among other titles.

Thomas was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2011.

Epic Collection Vol. 4 The Avengers is a great book! The team are hitting their stride courtesy of Roy Thomas, Gene Colan, John and Sal Buscema. This volume has the first appearances of the Vision, Yellowjacket, the New Goliath and the infamous Squadron Supreme. There's also special guests such as: Dr. Strange, the Black Knight, Nick Fury, the Black Widow and Captain Marvel. It's high action and a great read in the mighty, Marvel manner!!!

The price of these individually would be too expensive for mere mortals. What would you do with them if you had the original issues anyway? Perhaps read them one time taking great care not to breath as you turned the pages as not to cause a rip or bend thus causing the value to go down and then lock them away in storage? No sir, much better to purchase a soft cover book version with multiple back to back issues of the original stories that you don't need to be concerned too much with but will enable one to read the original story line from those great past masters. Priceless!
If you are a comic book lover of the silver age then stop reading my worthless review and make a purchase for your collection. Have fun@!

5.0 out of 5 stars Marvel's "Epic Collections" are a wonder for collector's
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2015

The Epic Collections from Marvel are quickly becoming my favorite way of collecting all the classic Marvel titles - I hope they continue to especially print the Avengers (my favorite)

The Marvel Masterworks series have gotten to be ridiculously expensive (especially in hardcover format) that its made it necessary to explore other options for collecting sake - when I found this book - it was a goldmine!

In this Epic Collection book you essentially get the best material from the Masterworks series Vol. 6, 7, 8 - which is one of the best if not THE best Avengers product from Roy Thomas and John Buscema as other reviewers have pointed out. The quality is excellent and you basically get the equivalent material of three of the MM books at half the price

PLEASE! Marvel - please make more Epic Collection Avengers

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2017

Though I've previously read all the originals, the nostalgia of once again seeing Gene Colan's art on Avengers the first and final time (issues #63-#65) cannot be described. The writing, art and coloring are as I remembered. Still great readings for a Monday afternoon. Introduced are The Vision, Goliath II, Yellowjacket, Barney Barton, The Invaders, The Grand Master and Arkon the Magnificent. Guest Starring The Black Knight, Dr. Strange, Nick Fury, Captain Mar-Vell and Rick Jones. The villain gallery includes ULTRON 5, ULTRON 6, Egghead, Swordsman, Kang the Conqueror, The Growing Man, Squadron Sinister, Scorpio & Zodiac, Sons of The Serpent. Also, the seller was very efficient and mailed my order promptly. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Behold, A Truly Epic Collection
Reviewed in Canada on September 21, 2015

Indeed, an EPIC collection. Roy Thomas is handed the reins and, no doubt, with careful guidance from editor Stan Lee, writes some of the most exciting Avengers stories ever told. The introduction of The Vision, Black Panther vs Man-Ape, the emergence of Goliath & Yellowjacket -- it is a Marvel Age feast of fun and excitement. The scripting is bold and dramatic. And the art - oh, the art. Witness John Buscema at his very best. He remains one of the greatest pencillers in comics history. Sal Buscema's pencil is lighter, but carries the day - as do the Avengers! Recommended.

The latest Epic Collection gives us Volume 4 in the eventual complete chronology of Avengers stories - this particular book collects material from 1968-1970. Now, this is a period widely considered to be one of the title's finest, and rereading this material, it's not hard to see why.

Roy Thomas, successor to Stan Lee (who edits), writes every issue in this collection, with art provided by my absolute favourite classic Marvel artist, John Buscema, with several issues pencilled by Sal Buscema, Gene Colan, Barry Windsor-Smith and Frank Giacoia. They all turn in fine work, but John's wonderful linework is the clear highlight for me.

The classic storylines begin straight away with the introduction of the Vision, and the team's second clash with the mad robot Ultron. For those viewers wanting to learn more about the characters from this year's Age of Ultron movie, these initial couple of issues are a must. Then, it's the introduction of the mysterious Yellowjacket, with a twist to the tale that's still hard to beat.

The pace in this collection never lets up; in quick succession, the team assist Dr Strange with a mystical problem, face the dreaded Man-Ape in Avenger the Black Panther's home nation, race to save a city from the maniacal Egghead, face an even DEADLIER iteration of Ultron, battle for the fate of the planet at the behest of Kang the Conqueror, meet the sinister Zodiac cartel, try to stop the racist group the Sons of the Serpent from setting the country ablaze, and face down supreme warrior Arkon with the help of a couple of old team-mates.

The real strengths of these stories, even as Buscema and the others throw page after page of breathless, gorgeous action scenes at us, are Thomas's wonderful scripts. While inheriting the verve and punch of Lee, the literary Thomas brings a richer depth to the characters and the stories he places them in, whether it is the ever-twisting nature of Hank and Janet's relationship, the Black Panther's soul-searching about his role in the world, the Vision's frustrations at his own muddled origins, or Hawkeye making dramatic changes to his role in the team. It's all simply brilliant, and a textbook example of how to write excellent superhero comics.

As well as the main Avengers issues, we also have a Black Knight story from Marvel Super Heroes #17, by Thomas and Howard Purcell, serving as a fine introduction to the new heroic iteration of the character. Other bonus features include the unused cover to that issue, as well as original art pages by Buscema and Windsor-Smith. These are mere trifles, however, after the sumptuous main course this volume provides. These are probably the best Avengers stories to hit the Epic Collection line so far (Volumes 1, 9 and 17 are already available), and you owe it yourself to seek them out.
