* Marvel has been publishing comics for over 80 years. The number is constantly increasing with new series and issues being released all the time.
* There are multiple publishers and imprints under the Marvel umbrella. This includes Marvel Comics, Marvel UK, and more, each with their own catalog.
* Reprints and variant covers. Marvel has a long history of reprinting classic stories and releasing different versions of covers, which complicates the count.
However, we can give you some information about Marvel's vast output:
* Marvel has published thousands upon thousands of comics. It's safe to say that they have released well over 10,000 individual comics.
* The Marvel Database (fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_Comics) is a great resource. It provides a comprehensive database of Marvel comics, characters, and creators. You can search for specific series or characters and see their publication history.
So, while we can't give you a precise number, Marvel's comic book legacy is truly enormous!
