Comme Alex Ross avec Marvel Anthology, Kurt Busiek va aussi superviser une mini-série anthologique qui rassemblera plusieurs équipes créatives pour des récits qui exploreront l’histoire de l’univers Marvel, dans la même veine que le célèbre Marvels des deux auteurs.
Le premier Snapshot, écrit par le scénariste et romancier Alan Brennert (Batman : Holy Terror) et dessiné par Jerry Ordway (All-Star Squadron) se déroulera dans les années 40 et racontera une aventure inédite de Namor le Prince des Mers, avec des apparitions de Betty Dean et de la All-Winners Squad.
Alan Brennert :
"I can honestly say that I enjoyed working on this story more than any comics story I’ve done in years. I grew up reading – and loving – Marvel’s Golden Age heroes in the 1960s, in reprints in Fantasy Masterpieces. But I never thought I’d have a shot at writing them – specially the All-Winners Squad! – and I’m grateful to Kurt Busiek and Tom Brevoort for providing me the opportunity, and to Jerry Ordway for bringing it all to glorious life.
« I’m enormously proud of Reunion and honored to be the first story published in Marvel Snapshots. »
Jerry Ordway :
"When I was offered this project, I jumped at it, being a big fan of the original Marvels book by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross. Getting to draw a Sub-Mariner story set in the 1940s, with appearances by the All-Winners Squad, lets me connect with Marvel’s World War II era history, and the work of Subby’s creator, Bill Everett.
« I’ve been a Marvel maniac from the age of 10, so this is pretty cool! Alan Brennert wrote a great script ,which fits neatly into the bigger tapestry that is the Marvel Universe. I’m thrilled to get to play in this sandbox after so many years as an artist. »
