Marvel Explodes tells the story year-by-year, exploring this decisive period from a creative standpoint - the expanded mythology, the new titles, and the writers and artists who would join to fuel the explosion - as well as a business one: the key transitions, including new distributor, owners, and opportunities.  Illustrated with full-color art, Paul Levitz's entry in the  MARVEL AGE OF COMICS offers an eyewitness account of Marvel Comics in the years that established its greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 176 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026-10-15\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48363399151842,"sku":"9798216377719","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9798216377719.jpg?v=1788782595","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/9798216377719","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
