Marvel creator Margaret Stohl along with Judith Stephens, producer and cocreator of the Women of Marvel podcast, interviewed more than 120 women and nonbinary Marvel contributors in search of the answer to that question. With one shared goal-to make the historically invisible work of women visible-and with unprecedented access to Marvel creators, writers, actors, and more, Stohl and Stephens set out to tell the story of the women of the "House of Ideas" from 1939 through today, and along the way, to find the meaning of their own Marvel stories. Packed with biographies and illustrations of creators, graphical reprints and excerpts of historic Marvel comics, Super Visible: The Story of the Women of Marvel is an essential read for fans of all ages.

Reprints Marvel 1602 (2003) #1. Written by Neil Gaiman. Art by Andy Kubert. Colors by Richard Isanove. Cover by Scott McKowen. "I get it all the time now. I just arrived in Portugal, in Lisbon, to promote CORALINE, and the first question I was asked, in the car from the airport to the hotel was 'So, can you tell me anything about 1602?' And I said, 'It's drawn by Andy Kubert, colored by Richard Isanove, lettered by Todd Klein, covers by Scott McKowen and I saw a photocopy of the first issue and it looks pretty good.' 'Yes, but the story... What's it about?' 'Oh, you know,' I said. 'Stuff.' 'Well, is it the Marvel characters? Or characters you invented yourself?' 'Yes,' I said. 'That's pretty much it.' 'But how long is it?' 'I think it'll be eight issues. It was meant to be six, but I'm writing episode 5 right now, and there's a lot of story to tell.' 'So why is it such a secret...?' It got to be a secret because the idea of 1602 was fairly straightforward, and really fun, and I hated the idea of people being familiar with it, even bored of it, by the time it came out. So I asked Joe Quesada if he'd mind if we didn't make a big announcement at the start. But the more people asked me, buttonholed me, pleaded with me, the more I liked the fact that only a tiny handful of people at Marvel and I had even seen Andy's amazing pencils or Richard's colors. This was starting to be a genuinely fun secret -- like not telling someone what their birthday present is until it's time to unwrap it. What am I going to tell you? It's really fun. It's set in the Marvel Universe. It looks gorgeous. You may even like it. There are sixteen hundred & two good reasons for telling you all about it, and I'm not saying a word. Think of it as your birthday present." - Neil Gaiman, May 2003. Cover price $1.00.
