 Aliens are a mainstay in many forms of fiction, and comics are no exception. This page lists aliens from major comic companies. Below is a partial list of notable alternate worlds, and universes with known numerical designations. Beyond these, many other alternate worlds have been visited or explored in Marvel Comics. Most notably, almost every separate storyline of the What If... and Exiles series relates to a separate universe in the multiverse, although an occasional pair of issues in which characters and situations do not overlap could conceivably share a universe.

Every genre of literature is represented; indeed, the pulps popularized several genres and writing styles. They introduced writers such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, Ray Bradbury, and Max Brand to the reading public. Pulp fiction writers were often prolific, usually followed a formulaic style and plot, and were paid by the word. As Lee Server points out, publishing houses of pulp fiction were considered writing factories, and deceased authors could have their name appropriated by anonymous hacks in order to attract buyers and to increase revenue.

Spider-Man is a fictional Marvel Comics superhero. The character first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #15 (August 1962), and was created by scripter-editor Stan Lee and artist-plotter Steve Ditko.

Spider-Man's creators gave him the ability to cling to walls, shoot spider-webs using an invention he had created, and react to danger quickly with his "spider-sense," enabling him to combat his many foes, including Doctor Octopus, the Sandman, the Lizard, the Green Goblin, and Venom. Almost continuously since 1967, a number of companies have published comic book series based on Star Trek and its spin off series, including Gold Key Comics, Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Malibu Comics, Wildstorm, and currently IDW Publishing, with varying degrees of success. As of 2007, Star Trek: Enterprise remains the only Trek series that has yet to be adapted in comic book form. Star Wars has been such an insanely popular franchise that it has inspired successful ventures in nearly every medium. Star Wars toys were such a massive hit that they were already sold out and behind in production when they first arrived three decades ago. Lucas Arts' Star Wars video games, such as Jedi Knight and Knights of the Old Republic, have been tremendous successes. The Star Wars brand has even broken into the world of comic books: The Dark Horse Star Wars comics in particular have had a long and well-received run.

Superman (sometimes called Superman (volume 1) and for a time published as Adventures of Superman) is a comic book published by DC Comics. The character Superman began as one of several anthology features in the National Periodical Publications comic book Action Comics #1 (June 1938). The strip proved so popular that National launched Superman into his own self-titled comic book, the first for any superhero, premiering with cover-date June 1939. Between 1986 and 2006 it was retitled Adventures of Superman while a new comic book used the title Superman. As of November 1, 2008, the series has reached issue #680.

The late 1960s saw the emergence of underground comics, a new wave of humorous, hippie-inspired comic books that dealt with social and political subjects like sex, drugs, rock music and anti-war protest. By 1992 Marvel Comics was fully involved in the vampire revival. It issued several reprints of its 1970s success The Tomb of Dracula under new titles: Requiem for Dracula, The Savage Return of Dracula, and The Wedding of Dracula. More importantly, it began several entirely new comics that featured vampires. Team Titans, a spin-off of the superhero New Titans, included the vampire Night Rider. The Nightstalkers was built around vampire hunters Blade the Vampire Slayer Frank Drake, and Hannibal King, all characters from The Tomb of Dracula who had disappeared in 1983. Morbius finally got is own series. These titles were then integrated through crossover stories with several other horror (but not vampiric) series, including Ghost Rider, Darkhold, and Spirits of Vengeance. The response was significant enough for Marvel to begin talking about a separate area of the Marvel Universe which dealt with occult issues. In late 1993 Marvel announced its new Universe structure by briefly setting apart these five titles, plus a new title, Midnight Sons Unlimited, and the older Dr. Strange: Sorcerer Supreme under a distinct Marvel imprint, Midnight Sons, which appeared in the October, November, and December 1993 issues of its several occult titles. Her powers include super strength, super speed and stamina, and flight. She is highly proficient in hand-to-hand combat and in the art of tactical warfare. She also possesses an animal-like cunning and a natural rapport with animals, which has in the past been presented as an actual ability to communicate with the animal kingdom. She also makes use of her Lasso of Truth (which forces those bound by it to tell the truth), a pair of indestructible bracelets, and an invisible plane. The X-Men are a superhero team in the Marvel Comics Universe.[1] They were created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, and first appeared in The X-Men #1 (September 1963). Under a cloud of increasing anti-mutant sentiment, Professor Xavier creates a haven at his Westchester mansion to train young mutants to use their powers for the benefit of humanity, and to prove mutants can be heroes.[2] Xavier recruited Cyclops, Iceman, Angel, Beast and Jean Grey calling them "X-Men" because they possessed X-tra power due to their possession of the "X-Gene", a gene normal humans lacked and gives Mutants their abilities. Though the X-Men started off with just five members, as years went on many characters joined the team and just as many left; Cyclops is the only original character to have had a solid seating in the series. Storm, Wolverine, Beast, and Jean Grey also are main characters within the group.
These evil souls spread like a disease of infected cannibalistic killing machines. The military try to assist, only to be left in a pool of bloody limbs and organs. Will the madness be stopped before there are undead monstrous offspring? Graphic novels are a reading format that I love. To me they are much more than comic books. It’s the ability to tell a story using words and pictures together and have it be that much more powerful. I like that so much thought goes into making the drawings speak what the words aren’t saying. And with graphic novels sometimes words come with space limitations, which makes me think the words, phrases and dialogue are chosen with that much more care. For me a successful graphic novel leaves me feeling satisfied that the words and pictures have been designed and combined to present the best possible story, with meaning and feeling perfectly visualized. Sometimes the stories are serious or sad, other times silly and fun, but also a good graphic novel is the best example of team-work and differing arts merging to create a whole new experience for the reader. offers a wide variety of Comic Accessories that help keep your valuable collection safe and protected.
