The Marvel Comics Age 1961–1978. 40th Ed.
The Age of the InvinciblesThe Birth of Great Heroes and Mythological UniversesIt was an age of powerful heroes, misunderstood monsters, and complex villains. With the publication, in November 1961, of the first issue of Fantastic Four, the comic giant Marvel ushered in an era of transformation in pop culture. Over the next two decades, iconic Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man and the X-Men leaped, ran, and soared through the skies of their pages. Captain America was brought back from his hibernated state since the 1940s and the Avengers became the world's greatest superheroes. Daredevil, Doctor Strange and dozens of other characters joined the pantheon, each with their own cast of malevolent adversaries. More than 50 years later, these fascinating characters from the 1960s and 1970s are more popular than ever and fight for good in comics, toy stores and movie theaters around the world.The Marvel Age of Comics 1961–1978 takes us to the heart of this fundamental stage in comic history, an era of charismatic characters and narrative innovation that reinvented the superhero genre. With hundreds of images and exclusive information, the book goes back to the birth of these defenders of good who possessed powers as epic as their adversaries, whom they fought in a world that readers recognized as their own; they were credible heroes with the same problems, difficulties and flaws as ordinary people. In the 1970s, we see how the House of Ideas also elevated horror, sword and sorcery, and martial arts to its pantheon of titanic demigods, introducing iconic characters such as Man-Thing, Conan, and Shang-Chi, demonstrating that their style of storytelling could succeed and thrive beyond capes and leotards. Behind all this we find the extraordinary architects of Marvel whose names are almost as familiar to us as those of the mortals (and immortals!) they brought to life: Stan “The Man” Lee, Jack “King” Kirby, and Steve Ditko, along with other great figures such as John Romita, John Buscema, Marie Severin, and Jim Steranko, among many others. The result is a hidden treasure, a gem for any comic lover's library, brimming with the innovation and energy of an invincible era for both Marvel and its heroic characters.  © 2020 MARVEL |
