ABOUT

MARVEL ARCHIVES: A TIME CAPSULE OF ICONIC ERAS!

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars MCU films coming soon!

Marvel Comics has shaped pop culture for decades, and now you can relive its most unforgettable moments with the all-new Marvel Archives series. This groundbreaking line of oversized graphic novels takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the most dynamic periods in Marvel’s history. Whether it’s the cosmic adventures of the 70s, the gritty urban tales of the 90s, or the high-flying superheroics of the mid-80s, Marvel Archives captures the essence of each era like never before.

Each volume is more than just a collection of stories—it’s a portal to the cultural zeitgeist of the time. With every turn of the page, you’ll experience the world as it was, from the political and social upheavals that shaped the stories to the music, movies, and television that defined the era, and laid the groundwork for the Marvel Universe as we know it today.
Leap into the cosmic chaos of Marvel Superhero Secret Wars, a saga that redefined comic book storytelling and left an indelible mark on the mid-1980s cultural landscape! In 1984 Marvel dropped a superpowered bombshell that changed everything.

Transported to the mysterious Battleworld by the omnipotent Beyonder, Earth’s mightiest heroes and most sinister villains find themselves thrust into a no-holds-barred conflict. The stakes? A promise of limitless power!  Iconic figures like Captain America, Spider-Man, and the X-Men square off against the likes of Doctor Doom, Magneto, and Ultron. But this isn’t just another battle of good vs. evil—this is survival, with moral dilemmas as complex as Dynasty plot twists. All while Spider-Man stumbles upon a certain black costume—an innocent-looking suit destined to spark nightmares in the decades to come.

Relive the saga that captivated a generation, redefining what superhero storytelling could be. This deluxe Marvel Archive Edition collects Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1-12, presented as facsimile editions, along with a gallery of iconic covers. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of comic history—because in the world of superheroes, “Secret Wars” was, and still is, the ultimate crossover event.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
