Marvel Comics Library : Avengers. 1963–1965

Description

Marvel Comics Library : Avengers. 1963–1965. By early 1963 the foundations of the Marvel Universe had been laid. Following the introduction of the Fantastic Four in 1961 came the amazing (Spider-Man), the astonishing (Ant-Man), the strange (Doctor, that is), the incredible (Hulk), the invincible (Iron Man) and the mighty (Thor). Still, Marvel editor in chief Stan Lee realized something was missing. “I was writing these characters and I thought it would fun to put them together in a team,” he recalled. So Lee and artist Jack Kirby assembled Iron Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Thor, and the Hulk to create the away it was clear this team was different. If the Fantastic Four were family, then the Avengers were the co-workers you didn’t choose. By early 1963 the foundations of the Marvel Universe had been laid.

If the Fantastic Four were family, then the Avengers were the co-workers you didn’t choose. Not everyone got along―the Hulk fought with everyone―but working together they could defeat the baddest of Marvel’s bad guys, like Loki, Kang the Conqueror, the Masters of Evil, and Immortus. The lineup was ever changing: The Hulk departed, Captain America joined, and Ant-Man grew up to become Giant-Man. Then, remarkably, villains Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and the Scarlet Witch became heroes―and Avengers―and the group’s founding members shockingly departed, leaving Captain America to lead the newly minted the classic early adventures of Avengers Nos. 1–20 now available as a compact trade edition. TASCHEN has attempted to create an ideal representation of these books as they were produced at the time of publication. The most pristine pedigreed comics have been cracked open and photographed for reproduction in close collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company. Each page has then been digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era’s inexpensive, imperfect printing―as if hot off a world-class 1960s printing the stories are an original foreword by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and an in-depth history by the Eisner Award-winning writer Kurt Busiek that’s illustrated with original art, little-seen photographs, and rare documents. This mighty collection about Earth’s Mightiest Heroes is worthy of Tony Stark’s library―or yours. © 2024 MARVELAuthor: Busiek, Kurt,author,Lee, Stan,artist,Kirby, Jack,artist Contributors: Busiek, Kurt,author,Lee, Stan,artist,Kirby, Jack,artist Binding: hardcover Number Of Pages: 642 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: illustrated Edition: 1 Published/Release Date: 2 Oct 2024 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Taschen GmbH Author/Director/Artist: Kurt Busiek Dimension (cm): 302x214x50 mm Package Dimension (cm): 47x309x225 mm Item Weight (g): 3020 Package Weight (g): 3035 Marvel Comics Library : Avengers. 1963–1965 By early 1963 the foundations of the Marvel Universe had been laid.
