Description
Marvel Comics in the 1970s: A Comprehensive Field Guide to the Era's Pop Culture Phenomenon. The 1970s marked a pivotal decade for Marvel Comics, as it transitioned from its initial wave of popularity in the 1960s. This period saw significant changes in the company's leadership and creative output. Stan Lee's role as writer began to diminish as he took on the position of publisher, while Jack Kirby departed for DC and later returned to Marvel. Roy Thomas emerged as editor, eventually becoming Editor-in-Chief, and a new generation of writers and artists joined the roster. Comics from this era are showcased in detail, including notable titles such as Spider-Man's "drug" issues, Conan the Barbarian, Tomb of Dracula, Master of Kung Fu, Howard the Duck, and the revamped X-Men. The book also explores the work of key creators like Chris Claremont, Barry Windsor-Smith, Gene Colan, Marv Wolfman, Steve Gerber, John Romita, Gil Kane, and Sal Buscema. With its comprehensive coverage of Marvel's 1970s output, this field guide provides a unique insight into the era's pop culture phenomenon.
