"Curator Kurt Busiek and an awesome assemblage of talent celebrate the history of the House of Ideas with a series of "snapshot" tales featuring some of our greatest heroes - as seen through the wide eyes of ordinary residents of the Marvel Universe! From the Sub-Mariner fighting in World War II to the dawn of the Marvel Age, to the very different conflict of the superhuman Civil War, witness the lives, loves and losses of the everyday people caught up in the adventures of Spider-Man, Captain America, the Avengers, Captain Marvel and more!" -- Container.
