Illustrated throughout, The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents specially curated cartoon anthologies of the world s greatest superheroes
The seeds of a pop-cultural phenomenon were sown with the launch of the first X-Men comic in 1963, at the height of the Marvel Revolution , under the creative team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. This title is bookended by the first issue, which established a creative formula that continues to inspire contemporary creators, to the later editions still acclaimed for the ground-breaking artwork of Neal Adams.
A foreword by Rainbow Rowell and a comprehensive introduction and notes by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of the X-Men and classic Marvel comics. This Penguin Classics black spine paperback features full-colour art.
