Marvel 1602

Neil Gaiman

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.
