With more than 650 entries spanning every major hero, villain, weapon, vehicle, and location, this is the single most complete encyclopedia the Marvel Comics universe has ever had. A foreword from veteran comic book writer Roy Thomas opens proceedings, before the book sets out across decades of storytelling: Captain Marvel, Corvus Glaive, Iron Man, and Gwenpool all take their place among Marvel’s vast cast. The Avengers’ Quinjets and S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Helicarriers get the same close attention as Thor’s hammer Mjolnir, while landmark locations such as Wakanda and Asgard are explored in full. Iron Man’s armor and other advanced technology are broken down piece by piece, and the pivotal moments that shaped the Marvel Comics universe are unpacked along the way. Housed in a striking slipcase featuring original artwork by acclaimed artist Adi Granov, this is the ideal gift for any Marvel Comics devotee, as much a refresher for longtime fans as a starting point for those just discovering the world of Marvel.
