Doctor Victor von Doom is now Otto von Doom, Baron of Latveria. The rest of the Marvel Universe characters are given realistic and creative twists that adhere naturally to the posts and positions of the 1600s. Later on, Parquagh joins a traveling troupe as the Spider Man (a parallel to Mainstream Spidey’s attempt to make money by showing off his abilities on television). Peter Parker is now Peter Parquagh, whose interest in biology is a parallel to Mainstream Universe Peter Parker’s own teenage genius. For the most part, the novel succeeds in giving them roles that fit the era. Of course, the gimmick here is how modern-day Marvel characters act within the guidelines of the 1600s. After much inspiration, Gaiman finally decided on what became a very interesting question: what if the Marvel superheroes existed in the Elizabethan age? Marvel’s 1602 graphic novel is the answer to that question. In 2001, newly appointed Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada approached legendary author Neil Gaiman to write a completely new Marvel comic series.
