Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Explore the Stories Behind the Legends
The team that defined a generation-and reshaped a universe.
The Avengers was the comic book of the 1970s. From Civil Rights to the Women's Liberation Movement, battles for the soul of America became battles between super heroes.
Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby co-created the all-star group of six super heroes in September 1963. From there, just three main writers chronicled Earth's Mightiest Heroes in that most turbulent of decades: Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, and Jim Shooter, each with differing approaches. The Avengers quickly became the pivot around which the Marvel Universe turned. To look back through its issues is to get a crash course in '70s pop culture.
Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary run, Paul Cornell's entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS series explores how the Mighty Avengers became icons during a time of immense change and upheaval.
A must-have for new or longtime fans of Marvel's ultimate team, this richly illustrated book is also the perfect gift for the comic book reader in your life.
