Marvel Comics in the 1970s
Marvel Comics in the 1970s
explores a forgotten chapter in the story of the rise of
comics as an art form. Bridging Marvel's dizzying
innovations and the birth of the underground comics scene in the
1960s and the rise of the prestige graphic novel and postmodern
superheroics in the 1980s, Eliot Borenstein reveals a generation of
comic book writers whose work at Marvel in the 1970s established
their own authorial voice within the strictures of corporate
comics.
Through a diverse cast of heroes (and the occasional
antihero)-Black Panther, Shang-Chi, Deathlok, Dracula, Killraven,
Man-Thing, and Howard the Duck-writers such as Steve Gerber, Doug
Moench, and Don McGregor made unprecedented strides in exploring
their characters' inner lives. Visually, dynamic action was still
essential, but the real excitement was taking place inside their
heroes' heads. Marvel Comics in the 1970s highlights the
brilliant and sometimes gloriously imperfect creations that laid
the groundwork for the medium's later artistic achievements and the
broader acceptance of comic books in the cultural landscape
today.

Frank Miller's Daredevil and the Ends of Heroism
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, writer-artist Frank Miller turnedDaredevilfrom a tepid-selling comic into an industry-wide success story, doubling its sales within three years. Lawyer by day and costumed vigilante by night, the character of Daredevil was the perfect vehicle for the explorations of heroic ideals and violence that would come to define Miller's work.
Frank Miller's Daredevil and the Ends of Heroismis both a rigorous study of Miller's artistic influences and innovations and a reflection on how his visionary work onDaredevilimpacted generations of comics publishers, creators, and fans. Paul Young explores the accomplishments of Miller the writer, who fused hardboiled crime stories with superhero comics, while reimagining Kingpin (a classic Spider-Man nemesis), recuperating the half-baked villain Bullseye, and inventing a completely new kind ofDaredevilvillain in Elektra. Yet, he also offers a vivid appreciation of the indelible panels drawn by Miller the artist, taking a fresh look at his distinctive page layouts and lines.
A childhood fan of Miller'sDaredevil, Young takes readers on a personal journey as he seeks to reconcile his love for the comic with his distaste for the fascistic overtones of Miller's controversial later work. What he finds will resonate not only with Daredevil fans, but with anyone who has contemplated what it means to be a hero in a heartless world.

Make Ours Marvel
The creation of the Fantastic Four effectively launched the Marvel Comics brand in 1961. Within ten years, the introduction (or reintroduction) of characters such as Spider-Man, the Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and the X-Men catapulted Marvel past its primary rival, DC Comics, for domination of the comic book market. Since the 2000s, the company’s iconic characters have leaped from page to screens with the creation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which includes everything from live-action film franchises of Iron Man and the Avengers to television and streaming media, including the critically acclaimed Netflix series Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Marvel, now owned by Disney, has clearly found the key to transmedia success. Make Ours Marvel traces the rise of the Marvel brand and its transformation into a transmedia empire over the past fifty years. A dozen original essays range across topics such as how Marvel expanded the notion of an all-star team book with The Avengers, which provided a roadmap for the later films, to the company’s attempts to create lasting female characters and readerships, to its regular endeavors to reinvigorate its brand while still maintaining the stability that fans crave. Demonstrating that the secret to Marvel’s success comes from adeptly crossing media boundaries while inviting its audience to participate in creating Marvel’s narrative universe, this book shows why the company and its characters will continue to influence storytelling and transmedia empire building for the foreseeable future.
