any article about Kurt Busiek should mention "Marvels", the four-issue series that he did with Alex Ross. "Marvels" told many of Marvel Comics classic stories, starting with the arrival of the human torch and ending with the death of Gwen Stacey, from the perspective of a photojournalist who covered the events. It's wonderful storytelling, and won Busiek the critical accliam that allowed him to launch Astro City (he mentions this in the introduction to the first Astro City trade paperback.)

Are you kidding?! It sucked, as did the "art." 70.53.108.112

Whether or not it and the art sucked, which is highly subjective and debatable, Marvels recieved a large amount of critical acclaim and attention at the time. Two years ago, a 10th anniversity hardcover edition was published that is still in print. Alex Ross was tapped for a similar art style in Kingdom Come by DC, another high profile series. You may think Marvels sucked, but considering how well it was regarded, we'll need more than personal opinion to ommit Marvels from this article. --Impulse 22:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting thing I noticed while reading some old books. There's a length letter printed in Captain America 239 (1979) by a Kurt Busiek. I'm assuming it's the same Kurt, might be work putting in the article. Impulse 05:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
