About the series
In 2009, Marvel and writer Ed Brubaker teamed with artist Steve Epting for The Marvels Project, an eight-issue miniseries that re-examined the dawn of the Marvel Universe. Set during World War II, it wove together the origins of the era's key heroes—from the Human Torch and Namor to Captain America—while exploring how ordinary people became extraordinary in a time of global conflict. Brubaker and Epting, celebrated for their work on Captain America, brought a gritty, cinematic feel to this foundational saga, making it a thoughtful, character-driven cornerstone for fans of Marvel's Golden Age.
