Marvel Super Graphic - by Tim Leong (Paperback)

About the Book

"A guide to the Marvel Comics Universe through data graphics."--

Book Synopsis

Marvel Super Graphic is a delightfully entertaining and fresh look at the Marvel comics universe through the mighty metrics of colorful infographics.

How many stomach-soothing tablets would Galactus need if he ate the Earth? Clobber versus smash: Who won each fight between the Thing and the Hulk? How worthy is each individual who has hefted Thor's hammer? Which Marvel heroes play musical instruments? What's on the Kingpin's mind?

Author and designer Tim Leong has creatively visualized dozens of deep dive data points and witty "I wonder" subjects ranging from character speed rankings to the length Mister Fantastic can stretch before it hurts to the overlapping stories of the Spider-Verse. Through playful and informative pie charts, bar graphs, Venn diagrams, scatter plots, timelines, story arc guides, and more, Marvel Super Graphic shines a fun and fascinating new light on beloved comics, characters, and Marvel history.
