Details: When Marvel Comics published Fantastic Four #1 in November 1961, it was destined to fundamentally change popular culture. While the superhero genre had previously been predominantly the domain of one-dimensional, detached heroes and simplistic storylines, under the leadership of Marvel creative director Stan Lee, more and more complex characters with believable everyday conflicts began to don superhero costumes to take down the forces of evil. In short: the superhero became insurable, lived just around the corner, and didn't always know what to do next. New heroes and narrative innovations - a recipe that resonated with audiences: Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men saw the light of day, super-patriot Captain America was unfrozen from the ice where he had been since the 1940s, and the Avengers rose to become the world's most powerful superhero team. Daredevil, Dr. Strange, and many other heroes joined, each followed by a horde of utterly evil villains. Today, more than fifty years later, they are all pop culture icons and megastars in cinema and the associated exploitation chains, and their former mentors, Stan Lee and artists like Steve Ditko, Jim Steranko, Jack Kirby, or John Romita, have become legends. The Marvel Age of Comics 1961-1978 takes you right into these formative years, into the infancy of Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, and all the others, an era in which the ailing superhero genre was revitalized and made fit for the future. 400 pages packed with hard facts and images that will blow you away!
