Marvels

Marvels is a four-issue miniseriescomic book written by Kurt Busiek, painted by Alex Ross and edited by Marcus McLaurin. It was published by Marvel Comics in 1994.

Taking place between 1939 and 1974, the series examines the Marvel Universe, the collective setting of most of Marvel's superhero series, from the perspective of an everyman character, news photographer Phil Sheldon. The street-level series portrays ordinary life in a world full of costumed superhumans, with each issue featuring major events in the Marvel Universe as observed by Sheldon.

Marvels won multiple awards and established the careers of Busiek and Ross, who would both return to the "everyday life in a superhero universe" theme in the Image Comics (later Homage Comics and currently DC Comics) series, Astro City.
