Marvel 1602: New World
Marvel · 2005–2006 · 5 issues
About the series
In a bold experiment for the mid-2000s, Marvel revisited its 1602 universe with this five-issue miniseries, shifting the focus from Europe to the Americas. Written primarily by Greg Pak and Nick Lowe, with atmospheric art by Greg Tocchini and legendary Italian illustrator Sergio Toppi, the story explores how the super-powered denizens of the Marvel Universe might have fared in the New World of the early 17th century. It’s a thoughtful, visually striking expansion of the original 1602 concept, offering a fresh lens on classic characters through the prism of colonial-era history and folklore.
