Marvel Age is an imprint of Marvel Comics intended for younger audiences, including children, established in 2003. It succeeded the failed Tsunami imprint. All Marvel Age titles are collected in the smaller digest-sized format rather than the standard American comic book size format they were originally published in. Unlike the standard comics published by Marvel, which take place in story arcs spanning several issues, each Marvel Age comic is a standalone.
In 2005 the imprint became Marvel Adventures, with Marvel Age Spider-Man and Marvel Age Fantastic Four being restarted as Marvel Adventures Spider-Man and Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four and a four issue mini-series, Marvel Adventures The Thing, being released. The other titles that were not part of the Marvel Age continuity, including Emma Frost, Runaways, Mary Jane and Spider-Girl, were excluded from the new imprint (the individual issues of Emma Frost, Runaways and Spider-Girl had never used the Marvel Age trade dress).
