Are you waiting for the next Marvel movie? While you wait, you can download and read Marvel comics on your computer, using your New York Public Library card. The Library offers free, e-book access to the complete Marvel Adventures comic series, starring Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Hulk, and more.
Here’s how you find Marvel Adventures:
-
Go to our e-books website.

Find the comic you want to read and press “borrow” (You may have to type in your library card number and pin number to complete your transaction. Don't have a card yet? NYS residents can apply here.).
Below are a few good places to start. Each series has over 20 issues! But remember, please return your comic once you’ve finished reading so someone else can borrow it after you.
