Publisher’s description
Double-sized! Regular price! Welcome to New York City. Here, burning figures roam the streets, men in brightly colored costumes scale the glass and concrete walls, and creatures from space threaten to devour the planet. Witness the birth of the Marvel Universe through the eyes of the proverbial man in the street - Daily Bugle photographer Phil Sheldon.
