Own a piece of history signed by the legends who created it! This isn't just a comic; it is a monument to the first true "event comic."

About the Source Material: Released in 1984, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars was a groundbreaking twelve-issue limited series. Written by Jim Shooter, it was the first company-wide crossover designed to tie into a Mattel toy line. The premise was simple but epic: a cosmic entity known as The Beyonder transports Earth's greatest heroes (Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four) and deadliest villains to "Battleworld" and commands them to fight. It set the standard for the modern comic book blockbuster event.
Issue Summary: This issue is a key collector's item for two major reasons:
-
First Appearances: It features the origin and 1st appearance of Volcana (Marsha Rosenberg) and the new Titania (Mary "Skeeter" MacPherran). Doctor Doom uses alien technology to empower these two civilians, adding heavy hitters to his villainous army.
-
Spidey vs. The X-Men: Tensions rise among the heroes! The cover art captures the iconic moment Spider-Man overhears the X-Men's plans to leave the main group, leading to a brawl between the Wall-Crawler and the mutants.
