Everybody knows the stories behind Spidey, Cap, and The Hulk, but what about the stories of their creators? Marvel Comics: The Untold Story ($13) might not feature a whole lot of men in tights, but it does feature a lot of men working in tight quarters, under deadlines, and boldly foraging a new path in comics that would eventually turn into the billion-dollar juggernaut it is today. Author Sean Howe digs up Marvel’s history through exhaustively researched and intricately integrated information. We’re betting the book’s plot will also take the hammer to Thor 2‘s storyline.
