2nd Edition - Volume 1 - 1st printing. Collects Paradise X: Heralds (2001) #1-3, Paradise X #0-5, and Paradise X: X-Xen Special (2002). Written by JIM KRUEGER and ALEX ROSS. Art by DOUGIE BRAITHWAITE, BILL REINHOLD, STEVE PUGH, STEVE YEOWELL, and BILL SIENKIEWICZ. Cover by ALEX ROSS. In EARTH X, Captain America, the Fantastic Four, Thor, the Hulk and the X-Men discovered that their purpose - and the meaning of all super heroes and mutated people in the universe - was nothing more than to protect their host planet, in this case Earth, from outside invasion. They learned super heroes are merely biological antibodies to protect a growing embryo within the Earth. An embryo for the Celestial race: This is the way these Gods fought back - only to cause a terrible ecological imbalance, a rift at its core that in time would wipe out all life on the planet. In UNIVERSE X, Captain Marvel was reborn on Earth years after his death. But he also still claimed to walk in the realm of the unliving, where Earth's fallen champions still exist. Mar-Vell led a team of heroes in a quest for the greatest weapons of mass destruction on Earth, suggesting this would limit the destruction caused by the growing power struggle on the planet. But this was not the only reason. For his crusade on Earth only supported and armed a battle he fought in the realm of the fallen, a battle against Death herself. Those living champions who died in his collection of artifacts were added to the battle raging in this other realm. Mar-Vell led a charge against Death and killed her. But now that Death is dead, no one will ever die again. They may writhe in pain in hospitals because their bodies have been broken beyond repair, but they will not die. They will call out for an end to their suffering. They will cry out for peace but there will be no answer. Paradise will be denied them. Yes. Death is truly dead. Long live the living.

Series Edited by Ben Saunders. Written by Stan Lee and Don McGregor. Art by Jack Kirby, Joe Sinnott, Rich Buckler, Klaus Janson, Billy Graham, Craig Russell, Pablo Marcos, Dan Green, Virgilio Redondo, Bob McLeod, and Gil Kane. Introduction by Qiana J. Whitted. Foreword by Nnedi Okorafor.

Illustrated throughout, The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents specially curated comic book anthologies of the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvels transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy.

It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as explorations of the relationship between power and responsibility; as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the pain of adolescence and the fluid nature of identity; as examinations of the meaning, and limits, of patriotism; as ironic juxtapositions of the cosmic and the quotidian; as resources for the understanding of political and social history; and as high watermarks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning. For the first time, these classic stories of some of the most iconic super heroes in the history of American comics are Penguin Classics. As Black Panther and the leader of the hidden African nation of Wakanda, King TChalla combines the legendary stealth of his namesake with the strength and intelligence to overcome his adversaries while earning the trust of his people.

This anthology includes the Panthers 1966 origin story by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and the critically-acclaimed Panthers Rage from the characters 1970s solo series, by Don McGregor, Rich Buckler and Billy Graham; both series were produced during a turbulent moment in Americas struggle for civil rights, and reflect that struggle in different ways.

The introduction offers fresh insight into the thematic development of the Black Panther, along with the social and cultural influences that shape the world he inhabits.

This anthology goes back to the original source material for The Amazing Spider-Man, with key stories from the first two years from 1962 to 1964. These allegories of adolescence permanently transformed the conventions of the super hero genre by insisting that great power is never just a means to an end, but also a burdensome responsibility.

The introduction offers fresh insights into character development and the personalities of his creators. Also included are rarely reprinted non–super hero stories, early letter pages, and supplemental materials shedding light on Lee and Ditkos artistic process.
