Tying this novelization together is a stunning all-new painted cover, four all-new color illustrations, and four all-new black-and-white illustrations by Alex Ross, who also provides an all-new afterword to the book.\n\nWelcome to New York. Here, burning figures roam the streets, men in brightly colored costumes scale the glass and concrete walls, creatures from space threaten to devour our world . . . and everyone else is going about their lives.\n\nThis is the Marvel Universe, where the ordinary and fantastic interact daily. This is the world of \u003cem\u003eMarvels\u003c\/em\u003e — one of the most important and bestselling stories in Marvel Comics history, which Stan Lee described in his introduction to the first collected edition as \"\u003cem\u003einnovative, brilliantly conceived, and skillfully executed.\u003c\/em\u003e\"\n\nOver 30 years later, Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' groundbreaking comic book series \u003cem\u003eMarvels\u003c\/em\u003e gets a long-awaited novelization by Steve Darnall, author of \u003cem\u003eUncle Sam\u003c\/em\u003e and Ross's writing partner on the original proposal.\n\nMarvels was a landmark series when it was first published — peeling back the curtain on Marvel's history.

Darnall's prose perfectly captures the magic of Busiek and Ross' original story, offering insights and background previously untold in the comic book.\n\n \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643967734046,"sku":"MARVNH","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/marvnh-marvels-novelization-cover.jpg?v=1784525794","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/marvels-the-novelization","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
