THE SCOOP: This all-new hardcover artbook spotlights the greatest illustrations, examines the most controversial decisions, and reveals the behind-the-scenes scandals of comics' greatest comeback!
THE STORY: Out of the ashes of bankruptcy, Marvel reimagined the Spider-Man and X-Men franchise, attracted some of the industry's most talented -- and unique -- creators, and was the only major comics publisher to post growth in 2001. Presented here are the untold stories behind such moves as The House's decision to drop the Comics Code, the creation of its adult imprint, the truth behind Spider-Girl, its hotly debated "no-reprint" policy and the decision to reveal Wolverine's origin! Complimented by a spectacular assortment of sketches and iconic covers, Bill Jemas and Joe Quesada tell it like it is, like it was and like it will be! Plus, insights and observations from the creators that made the magic, like Jeph Loeb and Mark Millar!
THE FORMAT: This 144-page hardcover is printed on 7 1/4" by 10 7/8" glossy-stock paper.
