Marvels is a four-issue limited series comic book written by Kurt Busiek, painted by Alex Ross and edited by Marcus McLaurin. It was published by Marvel Comics in 1994.
Set in the 1939 to 1974 time period, the series examines the Marvel Universe, the collective setting of most of Marvel's superhero series, from the perspective of an Everyman character, news photographer Phil Sheldon. The street-level series portrayed ordinary life in a world full of costumed supermen, with each issue featuring events well known to readers of Marvel comics, as well as a variety of minute details and a retelling of the most famous events in the Marvel universe.
Marvels was a success, winning multiple awards and launching the careers of Busiek and Ross, who would both return to the "everyday life in a superhero universe" theme in the Homage Comics series, Astro City.
Warren Ellis' Ruins returned to this theme in 1995, but an actual sequel was not developed until 2008 with the release of Marvels: Eye of the Camera.
