The Marvels Project: Birth of the Super Heroes

The Marvels Project: Birth of the Super Heroes
by Ed Brubaker and Steve Epting
Call #: Teen Graphic Novels BRUBA

A re-telling of the beginnings of the Marvel Universe by Ed Brubaker. Told through the eyes of the lesser known hero, The Angel, we get a view that is both expansive and intimate. The first appearances of Human Torch, The Sub-Mariner, Captain America, and Nick Fury and their fight against the war in Europe is balanced by The Angel's investigation into Nazi sabotage in New York.

This is a solid and gripping series. Rousing adventure and poignant tragedies keep the reader engaged for page after page.
