The second book in Abrams' Marvel Arts line, featuring the work of
beloved Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell and the greatest super heroes
of the Marvel Universe
"The Super Hero's Journey is a genuinely moving treatise on the
inspiration we can take from others, and an antidote for cynicism."
--Alex Ross, Fantastic Four: Full Circle
The Super Hero's Journey is an adventure unlike any you have ever
read. Imbued with the creativity, artwork, and heart of Patrick
McDonnell, the beloved creator of the comic strip Mutts, this all-new
graphic novel love letter features the classic Marvel super heroes
including the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America,
Black Panther, and Spider-Man, and is the synthesis of McDonnell's
positive, inspirational sensibility and Marvel's blockbuster brand.
Using the Marvel Universe as avatars, McDonnell muses on how comics
changed his life and inspired him to become a cartoonist, instilling a
moral sensibility that he carries through his work and his life.
Visually striking--The Super Hero's Journey incorporates panels from
classic Marvel comics as a tribute by McDonnell to his heroes--Stan Lee,
Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and the other creators of the Marvel
Universe--alongside inspirational quotes from Eckhart Tolle, Thoreau,
and others.
