The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel’s transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy.   A Penguin Classics Marvel Collection Edition   Collects Captain America Comics #1 (1941); the Captain America stories from Tales of Suspense #59, #63-68, #75-81, #92-95, #110-113 (1964-1969); “Captain America…Commie Smasher” from Captain America #78 (1954). 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 metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few.   Drawing upon multiple comic book series, this collection includes Captain America’s very first appearances from 1941 alongside key examples of his first solo stories of the 1960s, in which Steve Rogers, the newly resurrected hero of World War II, searches to find his place in a new and unfamiliar world. As the contents reveal, the transformations of this American icon thus mark parallel transformations in the nation itself.   A foreword by Gene Luen Yang and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of Captain America and classic Marvel comics.   The Deluxe Hardcover edition features gold foil stamping, gold top stain edges, special endpapers with artwork spotlighting series villains, and full-color art throughout.

Meet Jessica Jones. Once, she was a rising star in the world of super-hero adventurers. She had it all: the superhuman powers, the spandex costume, even an offer of membership in the legendary Avengers. Everything seemed perfect, until a clash against a sadistic criminal turned her dream of a hero's life into a brutal nightmare. Years later, Jones is the chain-smoking, hard-drinking owner of Alias Investigations. Her firm specializes in cases no normal private eye will touch, those requiring an intimate knowledge of the super-hero world. Cases that take Jones deep into the dark underbelly of the Marvel Universe - where former super heroes become helpless pawns of drug pushers, and teenage mutants mysteriously vanish from their small-town homes. As Jones fights to redeem other heroes fallen from grace, can she finally close the book on her own demons? Alias was the inaugural title in Marvel Comics' uncompromising MAX imprint, featuring stories aimed squarely at adult comic-book readers. This volume collects the complete 28-issue series by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Gaydos, plus the one-shot What If Jessica Jones Had Joined the Avengers? - enhanced by a bounty of all-new, behind-the-scenes bonus material. Nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award, and the recipient of numerous other awards and critical accolades, Alias is a modern milestone in Marvel Comics history.
