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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A huge treat for Marvel fans, this book is also a revelation for readers who don’t know Doctor Strange from Doctor Doom. Here, truly, are all of the marvels.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917958070512,"sku":"9780735222182","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780735222182_p0.jpg?v=1763627524","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780735222182","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
