Marvel 1985 #[nn]

A wide-eyed young boy stands at the center of this striking cover, surrounded by an extraordinary assembly of Marvel figures — Wolverine crouching with claws extended, the Hulk looming large, She-Hulk, the Thing, Captain America, and others pressing in from every side against a blazing orange backdrop. Tommy Lee Edwards both drew and colored the entire collection, giving the art a painterly, cinematic warmth that feels right at home alongside the blurb's promise of "a blockbuster popcorn movie in comic form." This 2009 trade paperback from Marvel is a vivid, nostalgia-soaked package that captures the thrill of a kid caught between the real world and the Marvel Universe.
