The character has been a pop culture staple in the medium since the 1960s. For over 50 years, Ultraman has been featured on movie and television screens, graphic novels, including as action figures. Beginning next year, the phenomenon will have all new storytelling and art to add to its list.

“As one of the world’s most-popular franchises, Ultraman has brought together some of the most-passionate fandoms in pop culture today and we can’t wait to bring his story to even more fans around the globe,” said Marvel EIC C.B. Cebulski. “Like Marvel, Ultraman captivated generations by telling spectacular stories grounded in the real world, and it continues to be a beloved classic through its television shows, movies, toys, games, comics and more.”
