Marvel Masterworks #219

by Stan Lee (Writer), Roy Thomas, Gary Friedrich

When Stan Lee set the tone for the Marvel Age of Comics it came with a healthy dose of humor. When fans demanded more of that Marvel mayhem, Stan, along with Jack Kirby, Gene Colan and the Bullpen's mistress of mirth, Marie Severin, turned the dial up to 11 and let loose - creating a masterpiece of Silver Age satire! Each issue is packed with Marvel's greatest talents taking a sideways look at the super heroes they made famous. Now, Charlie America, Scaredevil, the Revengers, Sore Son of Shmodin, the Sunk-Mariner and the one and only Forbush Man are coming at you in this enormous Marvel Masterworks!

With several artist co-creators, most notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Thor as a superhero, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Daredevil, the Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scarlet Witch, The Inhumans, and many other characters, introducing complex, naturalistic characters and a thoroughly shared universe into superhero comic books. He subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.

Reviews

[Little Timmy]

Although short lived this was an interesting series. Marvel poked fun at itself and did a fair job of the slapstick story. Funny read. Recommended

Man! I really hate to give one star to a Marvel title but, this was just bad. In truth I couldn't even finish it.

Now obscure non-comics references:
Ajax's White Knight (13)
"Good night, Chet", "Good Night, David." - much parodied sign-off of the Huntley-Brinkley report
