    What is a Marvel cover? Perhaps the best way to answer this question is to start with what it is not. A Marvel cover is not timid. It is not dull. It is not shy, self-serious, or elitist. And like all comic book covers, a Marvel cover is also not art—though it is an art form, and one that Marvel has perfected and reinvented time and time again.
    Discover how Mavel became Marvel. In Marvel By Design, discover why Marvel is now a globally recognizable brand.
    In Ms. Marvel #1 (1977) Carol Danvers discovered her super-powers and took the codename Ms. Marvel. As a mortal, Danvers was the editor of a women’s magazine and an ardent advocate of equal pay for women, but her super hero identity was tied to the era’s ultra-feminized depictions of female characters.
