A new line of collections from Penguin Classics is set to look at several of Marvel’s most prominent heroes. The “Penguin Classic Marvel Collection” line is set to present “the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel’s transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy.” Each book collects several comics and scholarly information that examines the enduring significance of the hero.

Whitted, and a general series introduction by Ben Saunders.

Captain America is currently set for release on June 14, 2022.
