Broken Frontier

Marvel is proud to congratulate NEIL GAIMAN, ANDY KUBERT and RICHARD ISANOVE the winners of the first annual Quill Award for Best Graphic Novel.

Written by Hugo award-winning author Neil Gaiman with art by acclaimed ORIGIN team ANDY KUBERT and RICHARD ISANOVE, Marvel 1602 is a time-bending mystery that looks at an age of super-heroes prematurely begun 400 years in the past.  The hardcover and trade paperback graphic novels have been incredibly well received by both fans and critics alike.  Marvel Editor-In-Chief   Joe Quesada says on behalf of Marvel, “Congrats go off of to Neil, Andy, Richard, Scott and Todd for a brilliant piece of work and of course Nick Lowe, Nanci Quesada, Kelly Lamy and everyone else involved with the project.  This is truly a first and an honor for all of us here at Marvel!”

Look for the sequel, Marvel 1602: New World, written by Greg Pak (X-Men: Phoenix Endsong) with art by Greg Tocchini (Thor Son of Asgard) to hit the shelves in late 2005.
