Each issue comprises 48 pages featuring a variety of Marvel heroes presented in a radically different way, including Spider-Man, Iron Man and the Hulk.
The series features the work of independent artists Paul Pope, Peter Bagge, Molly Crabapple, John Leavitt, Junko Mizuno, Dash Shaw, James Kochalka, Johnny Ryan, Michael Kupperman, Nick Bertozzi, Nicholas Gurewich and others.
"The philosophy of the book was to have these creators from 'indy' or 'alternative' or 'literary' or 'art' comics come in and do what they do best," said editor John Barber.
"I think Marvel readers will really dig seeing radically different versions of their favourite characters, and the fans of these cartoonists will get to see the creators work in a milieu they never thought they’d get to see. It’s win-win. It's really the best of both worlds."
Strange Tales MAX #1 hits newsstands in September.
