Marvel has made a habit now of releasing some sort of anniversary anthology every August, and this year is no different. The Marvel 85th Anniversary Special marks the 85th anniversary of the release of Marvel Comics #1 way back in 1939. The anthology will feature stories by Ryan North, Alan Davis, Christopher Priest, Iman Vellani, Sabir Pirzada, Steve Skroce, Josh Cassara, Stephen Byrne, Kaku Yuji, Carlo Pagulayan and more, featuring Ms. Marvel, Deadpool and a “lost” story featuring the original Excalibur. Kaare Andrews drew the cover, shown above.
The Marvel 85th Anniversary Special arrives in stores this week.
