Marvels

Marvels was a 1994 four-issue comic book series published by Marvel Comics.

Set from the 1940s to the 1970s, Marvels showcases the rise of superheroes in the Marvel Universe through the eyes of an everyman, Phil Sheldon.

Sheldon, a photojournalist, reminisces about the first "marvels" Human Torch and Namor in Issue #1, then takes readers through the "mutant scare" that included the X-Men and Fantastic Four in Issue #2.

Issue #3 depicted the arrival of Galactus, who nearly doomed Earth with his presence, forcing Sheldon to reexamine the value of his own life.

In Issue #4, his faith in the marvels takes a downturn upon witnessing Spider-Man's failure to save Gwen Stacy. Unsure of the future, Sheldon retires and passes his work onto his assistant, Marcie.
