1st printing. Text by Roy Thomas. Cover by Alex Ross. In 1974 Marvel Comics publisher Stan Lee devised an ingenious promotional campaign-Marvel Value Stamps, which appeared on the letters pages of their monthly comics. Readers could cut out all 100 of these super hero and super villain stamps and place them in a special mail-order booklet. Once complete, these stamp books could then be redeemed for special discounts and exclusive merchandise. The program was so successful, a second set was released in 1975. And now, for the first time, these original stamp books, stamps, and all of the surrounding ephemera and source material are collected into one must-have volume for collectors and fans, along with text from Marvel Comics historian Roy Thomas and an all-new cover by Alex Ross. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 368 pages, full color. All Ages Cover price $29.99.

1st printing. Based on the Story by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. Adapted by Steve Darnall. Art and Afterword by Alex Ross. For the first time, a novelization of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' bestselling and now classic miniseries from 1994—Marvels, offering an thrilling all-new interpretation of one of the most famous stories in Marvel Comics history. Welcome 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. This is the Marvel Universe, where the ordinary and fantastic interact daily. This is the world of Marvels—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 "innovative, brilliantly conceived, and skillfully executed."Over 30 years later, Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross' groundbreaking comic book series Marvels gets a long-awaited novelization by Steve Darnall, author of Uncle Sam and Ross's writing partner on the original proposal. Marvels was a landmark series when it was first published—peeling back the curtain on Marvel's history. It's a story told from the perspective of an everyman character—news photographer Phil Sheldon—who chronicles a world full of costumed superhumans, providing an on-the-ground view of events in the Marvel Universe as they unfold. Darnall's prose perfectly captures the magic of Busiek and Ross' original story, offering insights and background previously untold in the comic book. Tying the story together in a stunning package is an all-new painted cover, four all-new color illustrations, and four all-new black-and-white illustrations by Alex Ross, as well as an all-new afterword by Ross. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 368 pages, Text (with full color Chapter Illustrations). Teen Cover price $26.99.
