Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A behind-the-scenes look at the growth of Marvel from 1967 to 1975, from one of the smallest comic companies in America to the leading one.

Explore the Stories Behind the Legends
Starting in 1968 when three classic Marvel anthologies were split into separate titles for Iron Man, Captain America, Sub-Mariner, The Hulk, Doctor Strange, and Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Marvel began an explosive arc of growth which culminated in becoming America's largest comics publisher in 1972.
Marvel Explodes tells the story year-by-year, exploring this decisive period from a creative standpoint - the expanded mythology, the new titles, and the writers and artists who would join to fuel the explosion - as well as a business one: the key transitions, including new distributor, owners, and opportunities.
Illustrated with full-color art, Paul Levitz's entry in the MARVEL AGE OF COMICS offers an eyewitness account of Marvel Comics in the years that established its greatness.
