The Marvel Age of Comics 1961–1978

Roy Thomas was among the first comic book creators reared on comics themselves, bringing an encyclopedic knowledge of the medium as well as a youthful enthusiasm that served him well in his prime years as a writer and editor in the industry. He served alongside Stan Lee during the pivotal years of Marvel ’s ascension to the number one company in comics, with storied runs on The X-Men , The Avengers , and Conan the Barbarian . Thomas continues to publish his authoritative Alter Ego comics history magazine and remains a popular addition to convention lineups around the world.
