This is the year of Marvel’s women, and the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe is joining the celebration with this collection of profiles of the brightest female stars in the Marvel firmament! This encyclopedic volume covers the entire span of Marvel Comics and features hundreds of eye-catching characters! Entries include the good (Aurora, Big Bertha, Dazzler, Psylocke, Squirrel Girl), the bad (Hela, Moonstone, Selene, Titania, Viper) and everyone in-between (Gamora, Millie the Model, May Parker, Valeria Richards, Typhoid). This is a vital resource for any fan of the Women of Marvel!

It’s a First-Issue Frenzy as Marvel collects the crime-fighting debuts of the Dazzler, Ms. Marvel, Shanna the She-Devil and the Cat - with distaff deviltry from the Enchantress and the White Queen! Plus: The Black Widow gets a new costume and the She-Hulk a new team membership, but that’s nothing next to the changes Storm and Rogue undergo! Guest-starring Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men and more! Featuring the first appearance of Jubilee!
