Marvel Fanfare Omnibus. Vol. 1

The prestige format anthology series from Marvel's 80s era, Marvel Fanfare, is collected in omnibus format for the very first time! In 1982, the comics industry was making rapid advances. The door to higher-quality, prestige titles had been opened and Marvel Fanfare planted the flag, declaring it the place to be seen. The series gave industry's greatest creators - like Frank Miller, Barry Windsor-Smith, Chris Claremont and Michael Golden - a chance to make singular statements on Marvel icons like Captain America, the Thing and Spider-Man. New talents like Mike Mignola and Charles Vess could take their shot for an issue and gain break-out success. And groundbreaking talents like Bill Sienkiewicz could steal the scene with a gallery of pinups that redefined characters in a single image. Marvel Fanfare also boasted beautiful, fully-painted stories and cutting-edge new innovations in coloring. Each issue was a bounty of artistic excellence and a statement on the future of comics. Marvel is proud to collect the complete Marvel Fanfare in this first of three Omnibus volumes. COLLECTING: MARVEL FANFARE (1982) #1-19
