Explore the Stories Behind the Legends

Starting in 1968 with the splitting of the three classic Marvel anthologies 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 Americaâs largest comics publisher in 1972.

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

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