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.
