Throughout this decades-long journey to becoming a multibillion-dollar venture, Marvel's id has constantly shifted, careening between scrappy underdog and commercial behemoth. As the business has weathered Wall Road machinations, Hollywood failures, and the collapse of the comic e book market, its character types have been handed down along among decades of editors, painters, and writers - also called the famous Marvel "Bullpen". Entrusted to carry on traditions, Marvel's contributors - impoverished child prodigies, hallucinating peaceniks, and mercenary careerists included in this - battled with commercial mandates, a fickle audience, and, over things of credit and control, one another. For the very first time, Marvel Comics reveals the outsized personalities behind the scenes, including Martin Goodman, the self-made publisher who forayed into comics following a get-rich-quick tip in 1939; Stan Lee, the energetic editor who would shepherd the business through thick and thin for decades; and Jack port Kirby, the globe Conflict II veteran who'd co-created Captain America in 1940 and, twenty years later, developed with Lee the majority of the company's marquee character types in a three-year frenzy of imagination that might be the grounds for future legal fights and never-ending debates. Pulling on more than 100 original interviews with Marvel insiders then and today, Marvel Comics is a story of fertile imaginations, lifelong friendships, action-packed fistfights, reformed bad guys, unlikely alliances, and third-act betrayals - a narrative of 1 of the most extraordinary, cherished, and beleaguered pop-cultural entities in America's record.
