The art of the multi-award-winning, beloved Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell and the greatest super heroes of the Marvel Universe come together in this spectacular and bestselling graphic novel

Imbued with the creativity, artwork, and heart of Patrick McDonnell, this 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.

“A gorgeous graphic celebration of Marvel Comics. What makes The Super Hero's Journey stand out is the way McDonnell marries the biographical elements of Lee, Kirby, and Ditko with his own autobiographical explorations of how their myth-making impacted on his life, as well as how those foundational superheroes resonated within the larger literary canon (hence the Joseph Campbell of it all)." — Boing Boing
