About the series
A three-issue 2011–2012 Marvel series collecting key debut stories from the 1970s, Marvel Firsts: The 1970s spotlights the first appearances of Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) and the Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff), as well as Greer Nelson’s transformation into the Cat. Written primarily by Gerry Conway and Marv Wolfman, with art by Dick Giordano, Steve Gan, and Tom Sutton, the series serves as a tidy showcase of the era’s bold, supernatural and street-level character introductions. It matters as a curated snapshot of Marvel’s creative expansion during a decade that redefined its darker, more complex storytelling.
