Secretly dig comics but like to put forth an air of pretension? Marvel's got a graphic novel for you! Set in the Elizabethan Age, Marvel 1602 posits a world where all the familiar Marvel heroes (Spiderman, Fantastic Four, Dr. Strange, and Daredevil, to name just a few) make their initial debuts in 17th century England rather than the modern day, with all the strife, pomp and circumstance of that era.Written by Neil Gaiman (of Sandman fame) and illustrated beautifully by Andy Kubert and digitally painted by Richard Isanove, this novel is a literal feast for both the eyes and the mind. If you're a fan of Marvel comics, I highly recommended picking it up. I've personally re-read it twice so far after initially purchasing it 4 months ago, and it stays engaging and fresh with each reading.
