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.

This anthology contains twelve key stories from the first two years of Spider-Man's publication history (from 1962 to 1964). These influential adventures not only transformed the super hero fantasy into an allegory for the pain of adolescence but also brought a new ethical complexity to the genre-by insisting that with great power there must also come great responsibility.

The feature length spin-off and prequel to the 2010 hit 'Despicable Me'.

Throughout history, and before Gru, the Minions have served many a despicable master, including Genghis Khan, Napoleon and Dracula. But having contributed to their masters' downfalls through a series of mishaps, the Minions find themselves living in Antarctica with no one to serve. A number of years pass and it isn't until 1968 that dispirited Minions Kevin, Stuart and Bob set off to New York City to attend a villain convention and find themselves a new master.

Here they meet the ambitious and dastardly Scarlet Overkill, who, with the help of her husband Herb, plans to take over the world...

The heart of Mike Saunders’ exciting new book is how to build a successful business in the Fourth Industrial Revolution while focusing on human stakeholders.

Never before have we had so much information so readily available at our fingertips and there is no doubt that acceleration of innovation and the velocity of disruption underpinning the Fourth Industrial Revolution are having a major impact on businesses. Is it realistic to be at the forefront of these disruptive forces? Is it even necessary? It most certainly is. Knowledge of these disruptive forces – notably mobile, social, the Internet of Things, data and blockchain – equips us to build our businesses in the change that is enveloping us, but we need a framework to help us understand how to operate in a new revolution, how to organise the chaos into success.

It is this framework to which Mike has been applying his mind for the last ten years and in this book he presents just such a model to help us to navigate the digital world and build value in a humancentric way. The four concepts of his model are explore, ideate, intersect and create and he unpacks each of them in detail and with crystal-clear clarity, while never losing sight of the human element so essential to ensuring success in an ever-evolving world.

With his wide experience both locally and internationally, and his success in running the highly respected DigitLab, as well as his passion for sharing knowledge, Mike is uniquely positioned to share a complete framework for human-centred digital transformation.

Three special episodes of Jennifer Saunder's sitcom marking the 20th anniversary since the series began. Saunders stars as Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon, a PR company owner who continually behaves like a teenager, while her daughter, Saffron (Julia Sawalha), is mature beyond her years. Eddie's best friend is aging former model Patsy Stone (Joanna Lumley) who drinks and smokes non-stop. June Whitfield also stars as Eddie's elderly mother and Jane Horrocks plays Eddie's ditsy personal assistant, Bubbles. In 'Identity' Patsy comes face-to-face with her drug dealer who she owes thousands of pounds. Eddie tries to help her come up with the money but Patsy may have to reveal her true age in the process. In 'Job' Eddie arranges for French actress Jeanne Durand (Lindsay Duncan) to give a concert at the Royal Albert Hall but difficulties arise with the realisation that the star can't actually sing. In 'Olympics' the London Olympics are fast-approaching and Eddie is finally beginning to feel the effects of aging. When she finds an invitation for an exclusive party it brings her closer to her fashion idol and the Olympic Stadium.
