Marvel Worldwide, Inc., commonly referred to as Marvel Comics and formerly Marvel Publishing, Inc. and Marvel Comics Group, is an American company that publishes comic books and related media. In 2009, The Walt Disney Company acquired Marvel Entertainment, Marvel Worldwide's parent company,[1] for $4.24 billion. Marvel started in 1939 as Timely Publications, and by the early 1950s had generally become known as Atlas Comics. Marvel's modern incarnation dates from 1961, the year that the company launched Fantastic Four and other superhero titles created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and many others. Marvel counts among its characters such well-known properties as Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Daredevil; antagonists such as the Green Goblin, Magneto, Doctor Doom, Galactus, Thanos, Loki and the Red Skull. Most of Marvel's fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, also known as Earth-6

A selection of very different art styles...

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2011

Most of my 2 star ratings went for the works of artists Kent Williams and Bill Sienkiewicz because I'm really not very fond of their art approach.
Please have this in mind when you're going through my ratings below, in case you have a different opinion in this regard.
If you're wandering, what pleases me the most is a clean art, like Jusko's for instance.

Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2001

Didn't like it. Felt the style of the art was too dark. I was expecting to see more classic styled characters. Instead it was all artists interpretations of the various characters of the Marvel Universe.
This book was a gift for a child. Some of the drawings of women are questionable. I have decided not to give it to the child. The book received good ratings from other customers. It just wasn't to my liking.
The quality of the book itself was good. Very colorful and the paper quality was very good (no seeing the picture on the other side of the page).
