This Epic Collection present page after page of classic Luke Cage adventures: Including his origin, his growing relationship with Clare Temple, the first appearance of Cottonmouth, a battle with Iron Man and a fight to the finish for the name Power Man. Collecting: Vol. 1: Hero for Hire (1972) 1-16, Power Man (1974) 17-23
