Marvel's super-sized, slipcased "Adamantium Collection"-style format continues, shining a well-deserved spotlight on a true Marvel classic!

Within the Marvel Universe, heroes soar high in the skies, ready to battle the villains who threaten their world. Yet living in the shadow of these extraordinary icons are ordinary men and women who view the "Marvels" with a mixture of fear, disbelief, envy and admiration. Among them is Phil Sheldon, a New York City photojournalist who has dedicated his career to covering the exploits of the Marvels and their effect on humankind. A richly painted historical overview of the entire Marvel Universe, MARVELS spans from the 1939 debut of the Human Torch to the fearsome coming of the world-devouring Galactus - culminating in the shocking death of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man's first love.

Plus: an extensive and gorgeous Alex Ross art gallery!

1st printing. Written by Monte Beauchamp. Art by Ryan Heshka. No one has told the story of comic art in its own medium, until now. In Masterful Marks, top illustrators reveal how sixteen visionary cartoonists overcame massive financial, political, and personal challenges to create a new form of art that now defines our world. Superhero comics didn't exist until two teenagers from Cleveland created the first superhero of all time: Superman. Advertising artist Theodor Geisel released his first book in 1937 as Dr. Seuss, and children's literature was never the same. Charles M. Schulz's perseverance and passion gave the world Peanuts, the world's most famous comic strip. Featuring these tales, and profiling other giants, Masterful Marks illustrates how graphic storytelling became such a rich and popular medium. Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 128 pages, full color. Cover price $24.99.
