Book Overview

" A] book that mankind has been hungering for, a book that is--now and forever--a shining beacon of wonder, a titanic tribute to talent unleashed" --Stan Lee

Featuring an introduction by Marvel Comics supremo Stan Lee, the new, updated edition of this bestselling Marvel Encyclopedia now details more than 1,200 of Marvel Comics' timeless Super Heroes and Villains. Spider-Man, The Avengers, Wolverine, X-Men, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and many more have expanded entries, while over 50 significant new characters have been added, including Anti-Venom, Hulkling, Sabreclaw, Odin, Doctor Nemesis and Spider-Man 2211.

Each character is illustrated with stunning art from the original Marvel comic books, and the authoritative, fully revised text is supplied by a team of Marvel comic book experts. The new edition also contains the latest major events in the Marvel Universe: Dark Reign, The Age of Ultron and Infinity War.

The Marvel Encyclopedia is packed with comic book imagery and organized in an easy-to-find A-Z style. PopMatters.com says, "This coffee table volume is incredibly beautiful and presented in ways that online searching can't quite match."

The Marvel Encyclopedia is an essential book for new fans and for anyone who grew up loving the excitement, heroism, and humor if the Marvel Universe.

A Marvel-ous trip down memory lane

Who is Black Bolt??? Who were his partners. Did Marvel ever do any cowboy comics? This baby is jammed-packed with tidbits about more Marvel characters than I knew existed. If you're a Marvel addict, if your mother threw away all your comics when you enlisted in the service....refresh yourself with this pictorial encyclopedia.

The Marvel Encyclopedia in Shang-Chi and the Ten Titles of Obscurity
Shang-Chi and the Ten Titles of Obscurity
Published by Terry Fleming • August 29, 2021
