The first in-depth, behind the scenes book treatment of the rivalry between the two comic book giants. Drawing on interviews with major figures in the industry, Slugfest reveals the arsenal of schemes Marvel and DC have employed throughout their 80-year histories in an attempt to outmaneuver each other, whether it be stealing ideas, poaching employees, planting spies, or launching price wars. Slugfest was released by Da Capo in October 2017 and has been published in dozens of countries around the world, including China, the UK, Russia, Brazil and Poland.
