Issue-By-Issue Field GuidePresents a step-by-step look at how Marvel Comicsemerged as one of the most dynamic, slightly irrever-ent, and downright original pop-culture forces in theartistic life of America. In scores of handy, easy to ref-erence entries, MARVEL COMICS IN THE 1960s takesthe reader from the legendary company’s first fum-bling beginnings as helmed by savvy editor/writerSTAN LEE (aided by such artists as JACK KIRBY andSTEVE DITKO), to the full maturity of its wild, colorful,offbeat grandiosity. With the history of Marvel Comicsin the 1960s divided into four distinct phases, authorPIERRE COMTOIS explains just how Lee, Kirby, Ditko,and others created a line of comic books that, whilegrounded in the traditional elements of panel-to-panelstorytelling, broke through the juvenile mindset of alow brow industry and provided a tapestry of fullblown pop culture icons.

(224-page trade paperback) $27.95 ISBN: 9781605490168(Digital Edition) $10.95



Issue-By-Issue Field GuideThe third volume in PIERRE COMTOIS’ heralded serieslooks at Marvel’s final historical phase, when the companymoved into a darker era that has yet to run its course. Itsaw STAN LEE’s retreat to the West Coast, JIM SHOOTERrise and fall as editor-in-chief, the twin triumphs of FRANKMILLER and JOHN BYRNE, the challenge of independentpublishers, and the weakening hold of the COMICSCODE AUTHORITY that led to the company’s creativedownfall—and ultimately the marginalization of theindustry itself. Comics such as Claremont and Byrne’s X-MEN, Miller’s DAREDEVIL, the NEW UNIVERSE, RogerStern’s AVENGERS and SPIDER-MAN, the new wave ofdark heroes such as WOLVERINE and the PUNISHER, andmore are all covered in analytic detail. However, the1980s represented years of upheaval in the comics indus-try—with Marvel at the center of the storm—so expect abumpy ride in the 1980s decade that marked the beginningof the end of Marvel comics as you knew them!
