Description
The Marvel Age of Comics 1961-1978 marks a pivotal moment in the history of popular culture, as Marvel Comics revolutionized the genre with the publication of Fantastic Four No. 1 in November 1961. This transformative era saw the emergence of iconic characters such as the Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men, each with their own unique stories and struggles.
Legendary writer and editor Roy Thomas takes readers on a journey through the heart of this seminal segment in comic history, tracing the birth of champions who were both epic in their powers and grounded in a world that readers recognized as close to their own. With over 500 images and insider insights, this book delves into the creative process behind some of the most enduring characters in comic history.
From the dawn of the Marvel Age to the rise of new genres like horror, sword and sorcery, and martial arts, this book provides a comprehensive look at the Marvel architects who shaped the industry and created some of its most beloved characters.
