Marvel: The Lost Generation is a twelve-issue comic book miniseries published by Marvel Comics in 2000 and 2001. The series was scripted by Roger Stern and drawn by John Byrne with both as co-plotters. Numbered in reverse order, it began with issue #12 (March 2000) and finished with issue #1 (Feb. 2001).
Marvel: The Lost Generation tells the story of superheroes active after World War II but before the debut of the Fantastic Four, which is considered to be the start of the "modern age" of heroes within the Marvel Universe. Although the Fantastic Four first appeared in comics in 1961, Marvel Comics uses a sliding timescale. The Lost Generation explored events in the gap between the retirement/disappearance of superheroes active during World War II and the emergence of the modern generation of heroes.
