While the superhero genre had previously been predominantly the domain of one-dimensional, detached heroes and simple story arcs, under the leadership of Marvel creative director Stan Lee, increasingly complex characters, believable in their everyday conflicts, donned superhero costumes to bring down the forces of evil. In short: The superhero became subject to social security contributions, lived just around the corner, and didn't always know what to do next.\nNew heroes and narrative innovations – a recipe that resonated with the audience: Hulk, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men saw the light of day, superpatriot Captain America was freed from the ice where he had survived since the 1940s, and the Avengers rose to become the most powerful superhero team in the world. Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and many other heroes joined, and each was 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 creators from back then, Stan Lee and artists like Steve Ditko, Jim Steranko, Jack Kirby, or John Romita, have also become legends.\nThe Marvel Age of Comics 1961–1978 takes you right into these groundbreaking 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.
