About the series
In 2008, Marvel launched The Twelve, a miniseries that resurrected a roster of obscure Golden Age characters—heroes from the 1940s who were frozen in time and awakened in the modern day. Written with a focus on their fish-out-of-water struggles and the weight of history, the series is most closely associated with artist Paolo Rivera, whose polished, period-evoking style grounded the story. Though only two issues were published, the project stands as a thoughtful, character-driven exploration of legacy and identity within the Marvel Universe.
