NEWLY UPDATED AND COMPREHENSIVELY REVISED FOR 2024.
--------
The official and definitive guide to the characters of the dynamic, ever-expanding Marvel Universe – now updated with more than 1,200 iconic Super Heroes and villains.

Filled with superb artwork and illustrated characters from the original Marvel Comics, this is the one book every fan has to own – and the only book that covers the full scope of the vibrant Marvel Comics universe.

The most comprehensive Marvel Encyclopedia ever created:
  • Contains major new characters as well as updated entries for old favorites, alongside features for the latest Marvel Universe crossover events – including Judgment Day, Empyre, and War of the Realms.
  • Hundreds of fresh new character artworks from Marvel’s own talented pool of artists, including an original cover artwork designed by renowned comic artist Marco Checchetto.
  • Perfect for Marvel Comics fans who want the definitive reference guide to their favorite franchise.

Compiled by a team of comic book experts in close collaboration with Marvel Comics, this fully updated and expanded edition features revisited entries detailing the adventures since the best-selling previous edition (2019).

Major figures like Captain America and the Avengers have multi-spread sections, while even minor character entries contain details about their key attributes, allies, foes, and storylines. This is the most complete guide to the Marvel Universe ever created.
