Marvel 1602: New World

In 2006, Marvel took readers back to the dawn of the 17th century with Marvel 1602: New World, a single-issue one-shot from Greg Pak and artist Greg Tocchini. This Marvel Comics installment expands the alternate-history landscape first explored by Neil Gaiman, introducing a fresh corner of the "1602" universe. It's a brief but striking glimpse into how classic Marvel archetypes might be reimagined in a colonial American setting, showing the publisher's willingness to revisit and deepen its most inventive historical spin-offs.
