Thousands of writers and artists have contributed to it. Everyone recognizes its protagonists. Eighteen of the hundred highest-grossing movies of all time are based on parts of it. And Douglas Wolk has read the whole thing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Wolk sees both into the ever-expanding story and through it, as a prism through which to view the landscape of American culture. In his hands, the mammoth Marvel narrative becomes a fun-house-mirror history of the past sixty years--a boisterous, tragicomic, magnificently filigreed epic about power and ethics, set in a world transformed by wonders. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A huge treat for Marvel fans, this book is also a revelation for readers who don't know Doctor Strange from Doctor Doom.
