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.

Author Stephan Friedt shares the story of the meteoric rise of the
Schanes brothers’ California-based imprint Pacific Comics, which
published such legends as Jack Kirby, Sergio Aragonés, Steve
Ditko, Neal Adams, Mike Grell, Bernie Wrightson, and Dave Stevens.
From its groundbreaking 1981 arrival in the fledgling direct sales
market, to a catastrophic, precipitous fall after only four years,
The Pacific Comics Companion reveals the inside saga, as told to
Friedt by Bill and Steve Schanes, David Scroggy, and many of the
creators themselves. It also focuses on the titles and the amazing
array of characters they introduced to an unsuspecting world,
including The Rocketeer, Captain Victory, Ms. Mystic, Groo the
Wanderer, Starslayer, and many more. Written with the editorial
assist of Eisner Award-winning historian Jon B. Cooke, this
retrospective is the most comprehensive study of an essential
publisher in the development of the creator’s rights movement.

Combining the strength and stealth of his namesake with a creative scientific intelligence, the Black Panther is an icon of Afro-futurist fantasy. This new anthology includes the Black Panther's 1966 origin tale and the entirety of the critically acclaimed "Panther's Rage" storyline from his 1970s solo series.
A foreword by Nnedi Okorafor, a scholarly introduction and apparatus by Qiana J. Whitted, and a general series introduction by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of Black Panther and classic Marvel comics.

Hoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s,
veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of
doing a super team. Kirby, who thought superheroes were due for a
revival after 15 years of being pushed aside by romance, horror,
and war comics, saw it as smart business. Lee just once wanted to
"do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading." The Fantastic
Four forever changed their careers, their lives, and the comic book
industry. Some of the most iconic moments in Marvel history are
here, starting with Reed Richards, his girlfriend Sue Storm, his
best friend Ben Grimm, and her little brother Johnny Storm crash
landing their rocket after it has been hit cosmic rays and
discovering they have been transformed into Mr. Fantastic, the
Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch in issue No. 1. They
were emotionally complex characters, who weren't always sure
whether their powers were a benefit or burden. Stories were set in
New York City, not some fictional stand-in, and Marvel heroes
regularly crossed over into each other's books. The art was dynamic
and the writing conversational and engaging. Lee and Kirby were
like the Lennon and McCartney of comic books. Where the talents of
one ended and the other began was not always clear, but together
one plus one equaled three. Collected here in an XXL-size volume
are the first 20 issues reproduced from the most pristine pedigreed
original comics, which were cracked open and photographed in close
collaboration with Marvel and the Certified Guaranty Company.
Featured alongside the comics is an in-depth essay by acclaimed
Marvel writer Mark Waid, a foreword by former NASA astronaut Mike
Massimino, and original art, photographs, and other rarities.

In 1954, industry legends Joe Simon and Jack Kirby founded Mainline
Publications to publish their own comics during that turbulent era
in comics history. The four titles—Bullseye, Foxhole, Police
Trap, and In Love—looked to build off their reputation as hit
makers in the Western, War, Crime, and Romance genres, but the
1950s backlash against comics killed any chance at success, and
Mainline closed its doors just two years later. For the first time,
TwoMorrows Publishing is compiling the best of Simon &
Kirby’s Mainline comics work, including all of the stories with
S&K art, as well as key tales with contributions by Mort Meskin
and others. After the company’s dissolution, their partnership
ended with Simon leaving comics for advertising, and Kirby taking
unused Mainline concepts to both DC and Marvel. This collection
bridges the gap between Simon & Kirby’s peak with their 1950s
romance comics, and the lows that led to Kirby’s resurgence with
Challengers of the Unknown and the early Marvel Universe. With
loving art restoration by Chris Fama, and an historical overview by
John Morrow to put it all into perspective, the Best of Simon &
Kirby’s Mainline Comics presents some of the final, and finest,
work Joe and Jack ever produced!
