Description

What if Marvel's greatest heroes existed in the age of Queen Elizabeth I? Neil Gaiman reimagines the Marvel Universe in this groundbreaking series, transporting iconic characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and Daredevil to a world of 17th-century science and sorcery. Blending historical authenticity with superhero adventure, this collection explores how these familiar heroes would navigate a radically different era, their powers and origins subtly transformed by the constraints and wonders of the Renaissance. Gaiman's masterful storytelling combines the intrigue of Elizabethan England with the action-packed drama Marvel fans expect, creating a richly imagined alternate history that feels both timeless and entirely fresh. Featuring stunning artwork by Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove, Marvel 1602 stands as a unique and unforgettable exploration of what happens when legendary heroes meet legendary history.
