"Kirby's breathtaking cosmic art has never looked better in this oversized format." - screenrant.com"Just this once, I would do the type of story I myself would enjoy reading. And the characters would be the kind of characters I could personally relate to: they'd be flesh and blood, they'd have their faults and foibles...and - most important of all - inside their colorful, costumed booties they'd still have feet of clay." - Stan LeeThe First Family of the Marvel AgeThe ultimate collection of the world's greatest comic magazineHoping to break out of a sales slump at Marvel in the early 1960s, veteran comic creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby hit on the idea of doing a super team.

Self-inventor extraordinaire, Chanel revolutionized the lifestyle of her time by inventing a modern concept of luxe minimalism, elevating humble fabrics such as jersey and tweed to couture status, giving birth to a new silhouette both sophisticated and discreet, setting her stamp on the twentieth century with her modern spirit of understated luxury.The house of Chanel represents modern fashion. Under its founder, the style of the modern woman was invented, through the image of Gabrielle Chanel herself. She dressed women to be free, and her emancipated clothes reflected the shifting landscape of society. Her designs fundamentally affected what we wear, and how we wear it. The work of the hou…
