Alex Ross

For the first time, a novelization of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' bestselling and now classic miniseries from 1994-Marvels, offering an thrilling all-new interpretation of one of the most famous stories in Marvel Comics history. Welcome to New York. Here, burning figures roam the streets, men in brightly colored costumes scale the glass and concrete walls, creatures from space threaten to devour our world . . . and everyone else is going about their lives. This is the Marvel Universe, where the ordinary and fantastic interact daily. This is the world of Marvels-one of the most important and bestselling stories in Marvel Comics history, which Stan Lee described in his introduction to the first collected edition as "innovative, brilliantly conceived, and skillfully executed." Over 30 years later, Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' groundbreaking comic book series Marvels gets a long-awaited novelization by Steve Darnall, author of Uncle Sam and Ross's writing partner on the original proposal. Marvels was a landmark series when it was first published-peeling back the curtain on Marvel's history. It's a story told from the perspective of an everyman character-news photographer Phil Sheldon-who chronicles a world full of costumed superhumans, providing an on-the-ground view of events in the Marvel Universe as they unfold. Darnall's prose perfectly captures the magic of Busiek and Ross' original story, offering insights and background previously untold in the comic book. Tying the story together in a stunning package is an all-new painted cover, four all-new color illustrations, and four all-new black-and-white illustrations by Alex Ross, as well as an all-new afterword by Ross.
