The monumental   popularity of its new style inspired Lee to develop similarly themed   characters — including the Hulk and X-Men with Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor   Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with Bill Everett. After shepherding   his creations through dozens of issues — in some cases a hundred or more —   Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he maintained steady editorial   control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In   recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel’s films established   Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoy   Thomas joined the Marvel Bullpen as a writer and editor   under Stan Lee, scripting key runs of nearly every title of the time: Amazing Spider-Man, Avengers, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Sub-Mariner, Thor, X-Men and more. He wrote the first   10 years of Marvel’s Conan the Barbarian and Savage Sword of Conan; and launched such series as Defenders, Iron Fist,   Invaders and Warlock. At DC, he developed All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc. and related titles,   proving instrumental in reviving the Golden Age Justice Society of America.   Thomas later became editor of Alter Ego, a magazine devoted to comic-book history, and co-scripted the   sword-and-sorcery films Fire and Ice and Conan the Destroyer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve   Englehart’s history-making contributions to the Marvel   Universe began with the Beast’s solo feature in Amazing   Adventures, in which the eloquent X-Man first   assumed furry form. As Avengers writer, he masterminded such major events as “The   Avengers\/Defenders War” (in both teams’ titles) and “The Celestial Madonna   Saga.” In Captain America,   he identified and solved the “mystery” of the 1950s Captain America (later   revived by Ed Brubaker), and gave the true Cap the alternate identity of   Nomad. Englehart’s Dr. Strange storyline in Marvel   Premiere established the character as Sorcerer   Supreme and covered the creation of the universe itself. At DC, he helped   revamp Batman, Green Lantern, Superman and other major heroes for the 1970s.   Back at Marvel, he wrote the first few years of West   Coast Avengers and Silver   Surfer. His published novels include Countdown to Flight, Hellstorm (part of the TALON Force series), Majorca, The   Point Man and, with wife Terry Beach, books in the   DNAgers young-adult   series. Englehart has also written TV episodes and designed video games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDon   Heck (1929-1995) worked for Harvey, Quality, Hillman and   other publishers before arriving at Atlas Comics, later Marvel, where he   penciled and inked stories for virtually every genre: crime, horror, jungle,   romance, war, Western and more. With Stan Lee and others, he launched Iron Man, his supporting cast and   his early rogues gallery — including the Black Widow, Hawkeye and the   Mandarin. He also succeeded Jack Kirby on Avengers. At DC, his artwork appeared in Justice   League of America, Flash, Wonder Woman and other titles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn   Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a   Marvel artist — namely, How To Draw Comics the   Marvel Way — and few were better qualified. His   career dated back to the Timely\/Atlas era of the late ’40s and early ’50s.   Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema   from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run   on Avengers with the   long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time   of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title —   including his personal favorite, Conan the   Barbarian.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter   a start as inker to his older brother John, Sal Buscema penciled Captain America, Defenders,   Incredible Hulk and   more. Famed for his ability to meet tight deadlines, he spread his talents   across multiple genres. His 1970s work ranged from Ms.   Marvel and Nova to Sub-Mariner and Spider-Woman’s first appearance in Marvel Spotlight. He was the   uninterrupted artist on Spectacular Spider-Man for more than one hundred issues and penciled the   web-slinger’s adventures in Marvel Team-Up, in which he and writer Bill Mantlo introduced Captain Jean   DeWolff. After handling more team-ups in the Thing’s Marvel Two-in-One, he reunited with   brother John on Steve Englehart’s Fantastic Four. He later provided inks for Tom DeFalco’s Spider-Girl titles and Thunderstrike miniseries.","brand":"Marvel Universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301314515173,"sku":"NP9781302953522","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302953522.jpg?v=1767744495","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/wonder-man-the-early-years-omnibus-isbn-9781302953522","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
