Marvels

In 1994, Marvel Comics launched Marvels, a groundbreaking miniseries by writer Kurt Busiek and painter Alex Ross that reimagined the Marvel Universe through the eyes of an ordinary photojournalist. Spanning decades of Marvel history, the series offers a human-scale, awe-struck perspective on iconic events, from the Golden Age to the coming of the Fantastic Four and beyond. Ross's lush, photo-realistic painted artwork and Busiek's emotionally resonant storytelling elevated the project into a defining work, celebrated for its heartfelt reverence and its ability to make the extraordinary feel tangible. Marvels remains a touchstone for how superhero comics can explore wonder, scale, and the impact of the fantastic on everyday life.
