In the past year, you could hardly scroll through a message board or flip open a pop culture magazine without mention of Sandman, foe of Spider-Man both in print and (finally visible in Spider-Man 3’s teaser trailer) onscreen. When the rumours start to fly, how do you separate fact from fiction, or sand from water – which Marvel fans and natural scientists alike can testify, equals mud?
The Marvel Encyclopedia – it’s not a movie spoiler, just a stunningly comprehensive, full-colour look at over 1000 of the Marvel Universe’s biggest, baddest, smallest and most iconic characters. Written by a team of Marvel experts led by consultant editor Tom DeFalco and packed with spectacular images by Marvel’s greatest artists, the Encyclopedia also includes a decade-by-decade history of Marvel Universe highlights, illustrated with classic covers.
From specially-commissioned Frank Cho “heroes” cover to back “villains” cover, find basic stats and incredible images of your favourite characters, from their first appearance in comics, to their super powers, to their major storylines, to their most crushing battles.
And if Sandman’s too easy for you, try looking up Salem’s Seven, or Sasquatch, or Satana, or Sauron, or Scarlet Centurion, or Scarlet Spider, or Scarlet Witch, or Schemer, or, well…you get the picture.
As Stan Lee says in the introduction, “What a great idea!”
