About the artists:

Jack Kirby (1917–1994) was one of the most prolific and influential comic book artists of the 20th century. He shaped the visual appearance of countless Marvel characters—including Captain America, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four, X-Men, and Thor—and is considered the father of the dynamic comic panel. His visual style, characterized by powerful compositions and kinetic energy, continues to influence generations of artists.

Stan Lee (1922–2018) revolutionized the world of comics as a writer, editor, and publisher. Together with Jack Kirby and other visionaries, he created a complex superhero universe that featured heroes with human weaknesses and moral depth. His work contributed significantly to the cultural significance of comics—from the pages of comics to the screens of Hollywood.

Kurt Busiek , award-winning author and comics historian, wrote the accompanying essay for this volume. With his extensive knowledge of comics history and his sense of narrative depth, he connects the stories of the early Avengers with the larger mythos of the Marvel Universe. Busiek is known for series such as Astro City and Marvels .

Marvel iconography at its finest – a monumental collector's item for comic fans, nostalgics, and design lovers alike.
