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.

Introducing the newest hero in the DC Universe, the great sage,
equal to the heavens, better than his predecessor the legendary
Monkey King, even better than the Justice League-and definitely the
Teen Titans-(actually, all the heroes combined), everyone put your
hands together for...the Monkey Prince! Marcus Sun moves around a
lot because his adoptive parents are freelance henchpeople, so this
month he finds himself as the new kid at Gotham City High School,
where a mysterious man with pig features asks Marcus to walk
through a water curtain to reveal his real self...someone who has
adventured through The Journey to the West, can transform into 72
different formations, can clone himself using his hairs, and is
called...the Monkey Prince! From the team of New Super-Man and
American Born Chinese writer Gene Luen Yang and Teen Titans and
Green Lantern Corps artist Bernard Chang, meet an all-new Chinese
American DC hero, with roots in centuries-old mythology and ties to
the current DCU! This volume collects The Monkey Prince #1-6, and a
story from DC Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration.
This is a tour-de-force new work by rising indie comics star Gene
Yang. "American Born Chinese" maps the adolescent Chinese-American
experience through three separate but interwoven stories. One story
centres on Jin Wang, a Chinese-American student at an all-white
California high school. Jin is plagued by jocks and bullies, so
when another Chinese student transfers to the school, Jin wants
nothing to do with him. Next is a comic update of the legendary
story of the Monkey King, an ancient Chinese morality tale.
Finally, there's the gross and surreal stereotype of Chin-Kee, the
ultimate negative Chinese cliche, complete with a sitcom-style
"laugh track". These three apparently unrelated tales come together
in an astonishing climax - all with a mighty blast of humour,
surprising poignancy and skilled artistry.
Harvey Award winner for Best Children or Young Adult Book! The year
is 1946. Teenagers Roberta and Tommy Lee just moved with their
parents from Chinatown to the centre of Metropolis, home to the
famous hero, Superman. Tommy makes friends quickly, while Roberta
pines for home. Then one night, the family awakens to find their
house surrounded by the Klan of the Fiery Kross! Superman leaps
into action, but his exposure to a mysterious green rock has left
him weak. Can Roberta and Tommy help him smash the Klan? Inspired
by the 1940s Superman radio serial Clan of the Fiery Cross, New
York Times bestselling author Gene Luen Yang (American Born
Chinese, Boxers and Saints, The Terrifics, New Super-Man) and
artist Gurihiru (Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Unstoppable Wasp)
bring us a personal retelling of two different immigrants finding
ways to belong.
Gene understands stories - comic book stories, in particular. Big
action. Bigger thrills. And the hero always wins. But Gene doesn't
get sports. As a kid, his friends called him "Stick" and every
basketball game he played ended in pain. He lost interest in
basketball long ago, but at the high school where he now teaches,
it's all anyone can talk about. The men's varsity team, the
Dragons, is having a phenomenal season that's been decades in the
making. Each victory brings them closer to their ultimate goal: the
California State Championships. Once Gene gets to know these young
all-stars, he realises that their story is just as thrilling as
anything he's seen on a comic book page. He knows he has to follow
this epic to its end. What he doesn't know yet is that this season
is not only going to change the Dragons's lives, but his own life
as well.
