Set Description:
Marvels is probably the first comic series that truly inspired awe in me. I have always loved superheroes, and I rabidly consumed everything put out by Marvel, DC, and Image in the 1990's, but despite certain artists being must buy, or certain characters justifying weekly purchases, I had not seen something that both struck me the way Alex Ross' ultra realistic painted style and fascinated me the way Busiek's unique "street level" perspective did.
Obviously this was a ground breaking series but for me as a reader and collector it is one that holds a very fond place in my memory.
When CGC announced the Alex Ross in-house signing for 2023 I thought that having all 4 in 9.8 with his signature was a worthy goal. After seeing this registry set, I acquired a 0 to complete the 9.8 run.
While only four issues, the series itself is one that had a tremendous impact on me and the comic community at large.
