Prime

In the mid-1990s, Marvel launched Prime, a 16-issue series that brought a touch of lighthearted energy to the comics landscape. The story centers on a teenager who can transform into a super-powered adult hero, blending coming-of-age drama with cosmic action. Writers Gerard Jones, Dan Shaheen, and Len Strazewski, alongside artists Al Rio, Scott Kolins, and John Royle, crafted a series that stood out for its earnest tone and dynamic visuals. Prime remains a curious and fondly remembered entry in Marvel’s decade, offering a unique spin on the classic hero’s journey.
