      • 3 hodiny čtení

      Design-Genie und Comic-Kenner Chip Kidd (Judge This, Batman: Bauwerke des Todes) und Ausnahmekünstler Michael Cho (Shoplifter, Captain America) zelebrieren die Frühzeit der Avengers unter Stan Lee und Jack Kirby! Ihre großformatige, großartige Graphic Novel zeigt Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Wasp, Giant-Man und Hulk im Duell mit Loki, dem Tunichtgut aus Asgard. Dabei erfahren die Helden eine Wahrheit über sich und ihre Natur, die sie vernichten könnte. Kidd und Cho beschwören klassisches Marvel-Retro-Feeling herauf, ziehen jedoch auch allerhand postmoderne Register. Und so müssen am Ende sowohl die Helden auch als die Leser darüber nachsinnieren, was Begriffe wie Comic-Held, Comic-Schurke, Wirklichkeit und Existenz bedeuten.

      The first issue of Fantastic Four by legendary creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced fans to a now-iconic team of Super Heroes-Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Girl, the Human Torch, and the Thing-ushering in the modern Marvel Age of comics.
