# Marvel Explodes

From Bullpen to Big Business

[Paul Levitz (Author)](https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/author/paul-levitz/)

### Description

**Explore the Stories Behind the Legends**

Starting in 1968 when three classic Marvel anthologies were split into separate titles for *Iron Man, Captain America, Sub-Mariner, The Hulk, Doctor Strange*, and *Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D*., Marvel began an explosive arc of growth which culminated in becoming America's largest comics publisher in 1972.

*Marvel Explodes* tells the story year-by-year, exploring this decisive period from a creative standpoint – the expanded mythology, the new titles, and the writers and artists who would join to fuel the explosion – as well as a business one: the key transitions, including new distributor, owners, and opportunities.

Illustrated with full-color art, Paul Levitz's entry in the **MARVEL AGE OF COMICS** offers an eyewitness account of Marvel Comics in the years that established its greatness.

### Description

<b>Explore the Stories Behind the Legends</b>

In the mid-1970s, Misty Knight burst onto the pages of Marvel Comics. Before Storm, Shuri, or Riri, Misty opened the doors of comics as Marvel's first Black woman super hero.

A detective and martial artist with a bionic arm that gives her heroic strength, Misty personified the uncurrent of independent Black media and the budding post-soul culture. First appearing 1975, she broke down stereotypes to become one of the backbone characters of the Marvel Universe.

Illustrated with full-color art, Angélique Roché's entry in the **MARVEL AGE OF COMICS** takes a deep dive into the development of Misty Knight's character and how she paved the way for future heroes.

### Description

<b>Explore the Stories Behind the Legends</b>

In 1984, Marvel's Editor-In-Chief Jim Shooter brought Marvel's heroes and villains together for an epic battle that became the template for comic book crossovers and impacted Marvel's storylines for decades, including major changes to the Spider-Man mythos and the introduction of a new villain.

Within the 12-part storyline, characters who had never met before would find themselves thrown together to achieve a common goal. They formed shaky alliances. There were tremendous power struggles. Teams within teams would form. Relationships would be tested, and both heroes and villains would never be the same. Neither would the Marvel Universe.

Illustrated with full-color art, Tom Mason's entry in the *MARVEL AGE OF COMICS* takes a deep dive into how *Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars* became the modern comics industry's first true blockbuster.

Description
Explore the Stories Behind the Legends

Genius. Monarch. Sorcerer. God. Since the birth of the Marvel Universe, Doctor Doom has left scars across it as indelible as the ones he hides beneath his cold iron mask.

Victor von Doom is one of Marvel's most popular villains, having menaced just about every Marvel hero since 1962. He's a dark sorcerer who fights the devil every Midsummer's Eve for his mother's soul, as well as a mad scientist with an inexhaustible supply of robot duplicates and the coolest time machine ever invented.

This entry in MARVEL AGE OF COMICS chronicles why this fascinating fiend has remained a compelling character for seven decades and counting, from his first appearance in Fantastic Four #5 to his conquest of the Marvel Universe in One World Under Doom.

Beautifully illustrated with full-color artwork, this is a must-have for both die-hard fans already familiar with dozens of Doom's nefarious schemes, as well as the Doom-curious.

Uncanny X-Men
The Chris Claremont Era
Alex Segura (Author)

Description
Explore the Stories Behind the Legends

Beginning in the mid-1970s, Chris Claremont's run on X-Men – including the storylines "Dark Phoenix Saga," "Days of Future Past," "Inferno," "Mutant Massacre," "Fall of the Mutants," and "X-Tinction Agenda" – catapulted the mutant heroes to the top of the sales chart and to endless critical acclaim.

Spurred by sweeping, soap-operatic plots, Uncanny X-Men introduced readers to a complicated, character-driven saga about people who happen to have powers. Claremont's work on the comic was a great example of the craft and a genre-defying and progressive style of storytelling that pushed the medium forward.

Beautifully illustrated with full-color artwork, this entry into MARVEL AGE OF COMICS digs into Chris Claremont's historic 16-year run as writer of Marvel's flagship title.
