The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel's transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy.
It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.
Drawing upon multiple comic book series, this collection includes Captain America's very first appearances from 1941 alongside key examples of his first solo stories of the 1960s, in which Steve Rogers, the newly resurrected hero of World War II, searches to find his place in a new and unfamiliar world. As the contents reveal, the transformations of this American icon thus mark parallel transformations in the nation itself.
A foreword by Gene Luen Yang and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of Captain America and classic Marvel comics.
The Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-colour art throughout.
The greatest super hero story of all time is finally here!
Acclaimed writer Mark Millar ("Wanted") and award-winning artist
John Romita Jr. ("Amazing Spider-Man") unite for one of 21st
century's most outrageous and acclaimed series! Dave Lizewski is
just an ordinary American teenager. He has a MySpace page, he loves
comic books, and he is unable to find a girlfriend. Then an idea
hits him: why not become a real life super hero? Soon, his life
will never be the same again. Soon to be a major motion picture
directed by Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman, "Kick-Ass" starts
where other super hero stories draw the line, taking comic book
realism to a whole new level! Warning: This title is for adults
only!
