Incorporating more than one hundred original interviews with those who worked behind the scenes at Marvel over a seventy-year-span, Marvel Comics packs anecdotes and analysis into a gripping narrative of how a small group of people on the cusp of failure created one of the most enduring pop cultural forces in contemporary America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526451790112,"sku":"NEW0061992119","price":18.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/619SDINH6JL.jpg?v=1777195441","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/marvel-comics-the-untold-story-0061992119","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
