As a comic book series, Marvel 1602 is a unique creation. The acclaimed writer—whose hits also include Sandman, Good Omens, and American Gods—conceived the comic along with artist Andy Kubert. The eight-issue limited series took what could easily have been tacky, “jump-the-shark” misadventure for Marvel and delivered a convincing and legitimate addition to the MU canon.
Marvel was the first to approach Gaiman, asking him if he had any ideas for a project set in the distant past. Fortunately for Marvel, it turned out that the author was fascinated by the Elizabethan period. No surprise, then, that he set the Marvel tale 1602, the epoch dominated, in American and British history by the early stages of the American Colonies and the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
Gaiman’s narrative prowess and Kubert’s top-notch aesthetic made for a unique project unmissable for fans of brainy and imaginative fiction and superhero content alike.
