Description:



Marvel: The Lost Generation is a twelve issue comic book

limited series published by Marvel Comics in 2000 and 2001.

The series was written by Roger Stern and drawn by John Byrne.

Numbered in reverse order, it began with issue #12 (March 2000)

and finished with issue #1 (Feb. 2001).



Marvel: The Lost Generation tells the story of superheroes

active after World War II but before the debut of the Fantastic

Four, which is considered to be the start of the "modern age"

of heroes within the Marvel universe. Although the Fantastic Four

first appeared in comics in 1961, Marvel Comics utilizes a sliding

timescale in which four earthen years pass per year on Earth-616,

therefore around 11.5 years have passed since that team's debut.

The Lost Generation explored events in the gap between the

retirement/disappearance of superheroes active during World War II

and the emergence of the modern generation of heroes.



The Lost Generation starred the First Line, a loose confederation

of superheroes, which lasted from the years shortly after World War II

up to the early 1980s. Members of the First Line included The Yankee

Clipper (time traveller), Oxbow (super-strong archer), Pixie and

Major Mercury (both Eternals), Captain Hip and Sunshine (hippie heroes

mutated by a government experiment), Kid Justice (former sidekick of

Yankee Clipper who later became Mr. Justice), and the Black Fox

(non-superpowered vigilante), as well as other, less prominent heroes

during their "decades-long" adventures. Members of the First Line

encountered a number of established Marvel characters, including

the Skrulls, Doctor Strange, Diablo, Namor, Thor, Havok, Polaris,

the Monster Hunters of Ulysses Bloodstone, and Nick Fury.



During their final mission against a Skrull invasion force, almost

the entire cast of characters is killed, and this, along with a

government conspiracy to cover up the attempted alien invasion,

was given as the reason why the First Line and its exploits had

gone unmentioned.
