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.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. The title was bookended by some of the best Super Hero comics of that era; the first issue established a creative formula that continues to inspire contemporary creators, while the final issues remain acclaimed for the groundbreaking artwork of Neal Adams. This collection gathers several key tales from the original run of the classic X-Men series.A foreword by Rainbow Rowell and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of the X-Men and classic Marvel comics. Author Biography Writer-editor Stan Lee (1922- 2018) and artist Jack Kirby made comic book history in 1961 with The Fantastic Four #1. The suc-cess of its new style inspired Lee and his many collaborators to de-velop a number of Super Heroes, including, with Jack Kirby, the Incredible Hulk and the XMen; with Steve Ditko, the Amazing Spider-Man and Doctor Strange; and with Bill Everett, Daredevil. Lee oversaw the adventures of these creations for more than a decade before handing over the editorial reins at Marvel to others and focusing on developing Marvels properties in other media. For the remainder of his long life, he continued to serve as a creative figure-head at Marvel and as an ambassador for the comics medium as a whole. In his final years, Lees signature cameo appearances in Marvels films established him as one of the worlds most famous faces.Born Jacob Kurtzberg in 1917 to Jewish-Austrian parents on New Yorks Lower East Side, Jack Kirby came of age at the birth of the American comic book industry. Horrified by the rise of Nazism, Kirby cocreated the patriotic hero Captain America with Joe Simon in 1940. Caps exploits on the comic book page entertained millions of American readers at home and inspired US troops fight-ing the enemy abroad. Kirbys partnership with Simon continued throughout the 1940s and early 50s; together, they produced com-ics in every popular genre, from Western to romance. In 1958, Kirby began his equally fruitful collaboration with writer- editor Stan Lee, and in 1961 the two men cocreated the foundational text of the modern Marvel Universe- The Fantastic Four. Over the next de-cade, Kirby and Lee would introduce a mind- boggling array of new characters- including the Avengers, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the Silver Surfer, and the XMen. Kirbys groundbreaking work with Lee formed the foundation of the Marvel Universe. In the early 1970s, Kirby moved to DC Comics, where he created his intercon-nected Fourth World series, as well as freestanding titles such as The Demon. He returned to Marvel in 1975, writing and illustrat-ing The Black Panther and Captain America, and introducing series such as Devil Dinosaur, and The Eternals. Kirby died in 1994. Today, he is generally regarded as one of the most important and influential creators in the history of American comics. His work has inspired multiple generations of writers, artists, designers, and film-makers, who continue to explore his vast universe of concepts and characters. He was an inaugural inductee into the Eisner Hall of Fame in 1987.Roy Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time- Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first 10 years of Marvels Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist, Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles, proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America. Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.Werner Roth may not be remembered as widely as Marvel Age giants like Kirby, Ditko or Buscema, but that cannot change the fact that he was a key contributor during the early years when Marvels Silver Age legacy was still an unknown quantity. In fact, unlike those other artists, Werner Roth was an active participant in the earliest years of Marvels Atlas Era- the beyond beautiful heroine, Venus; Matt Slade, Western gunfighter; the horror/suspense stories of Strange Tales, Menace and World of Fantasy...Werner did it all! His two titles of longest creative standing were the Native American Western title Apache Kid and Lorna, the Jungle Queen, for which he turned in consistently lovely artwork. After several years away from comics, he reemerged at Marvel drawing X-Men, the first permanent artist installed to fill the big shoes of Jack Kirby. Werners X-Men work has charm to burn, with freewheeling renderings of such frozen-in-time characters like The Locust, Kukulcan/El Tigre, and Factor Three. He also created the visual look of The Banshee, certainly one of his most memorable contributions to the X-Men legacy. After his run on the X-Men ended, Werner dabbled in comics for a bit in the 70s before retiring.Don Heck (1929-1995) worked for Harvey, Quality, Hillman and other publishers before arriving at Atlas Comics, later Marvel, where he penciled and inked stories for virtually every genre- crime, horror, jungle, romance, war, Western and more. With Stan Lee and others, he launched Iron Man, his supporting cast and his early rogues gallery - including the Black Widow, Hawkeye and the Mandarin. He also succeeded Jack Kirby on Avengers. At DC, his artwork appeared in Justice League of America, Flash, Wonder Woman and other titles.Neal Adams took the industry by storm with groundbreaking artwork on X-Men and Avengers. At DC, he and Dennis ONeil collaborated on Batman and converted Green Lantern to Green Lantern/Green Arrow, a title famed for its combination of social commentary and comic-book action. He later founded Continuity Associates, home of Bucky OHare, Ms. Mystic and other fan favorites. After years of political activism, Adams returned to comics to write and draw Batman- Odyssey for DC, and provide art for Marvels New Avengers.Arnold Drake (1924-2007) helped shape the Silver Age both at Marvel with Captain Marvel and X-Men; and at DC with Batman, Doom Patrol and "Stanley and His Monster." His media tie-in work ranged from Star Trek to Bob Hope and Jerry Lewis. He wrote, produced and directed the 1964 horror film The Flesh Eaters, and wrote lyrics for several musicals. He won 1967 Alley Awards for Best Full-Length Story and Best New Strip (both for Deadman in Strange Adventures), as well as the Bill Finger Award for Excellence in Comics Writing.Guaranteed immortality for introducing Johnny Blaze, the Ghost Rider, Gary Friedrich also played a pivotal role in Marvels 1970s Western and war comics, penning memorable tales of Sgt. Fury and launching the Marine series Captain Savage. In addition, Friedrich wrote issues of Incredible Hulk, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Daredevil, X-Men and more. With Steve Ditko, he co-created Charltons Blue Beetle, now a DC character. With Len Brown, he wrote a series of books on popular music.One of the Golden Ages earliest talents, George Tuska (1916-2009) created characters for Fiction House, Harvey Comics and Fawcett Comics Captain Marvel Adventures, among many others. He helped launch one of the most popular post-war genres in Lev Gleasons Crime Does Not Pay. He eventually provided multi-genre art for Atlas Comics, to which he returned following its transformation into Marvel. Tuska penciled Ghost Rider, Luke Cage- Power Man and Sub-Mariner, as well as a 10-year Iron Man stint. At DC, he illustrated Challengers of the Unknown and Superman, among others. As a comic-strip artist, Tuska drew Buck Rogers, Scorchy Smith and DCs Worlds Greatest Superheroes. His final industry work was cover art for Masquerade, part of Dynamites Golden Age character revival, bringing him Details ISBN 0143135775 ISBN-13 9780143135777 Title X-Men Author Stan Lee Format Paperback Year 2023 Pages 400 Publisher Penguin Books Ltd GE_Item_ID:157775287; About Us Grand Eagle Retail is the ideal place for all your shopping needs!
