Comic Wars Marvels Battle For Survival TP

Description

As ferocious and fateful as any battle in the pages of Marvel Comics, this is the true story of the life-or-death struggle for Marvel - choked by bankruptcy in 1996 because of high-powered money men who did not care at all about Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Hulk, Captain America, or the other iconic heroes of the comics. Combining meticulous invesgative reporting with entertaining storytelling, COMIC WARS exposes the actions and motives of two Goliath-style corporate raiders, two innovative Davids, and some of the world's biggest banks. It is the rollicking true tale of a unique Wall Street showdown, of a surprising emergence from the ashes, and of Marvel's triumphant reinvention as the producer of hit Hollywood movies, video games, and - yes, of course - comic books.
