''Marvel Comics'' #1000 is an extra large comic book published by Marvel Comics for their 80th anniversary. It contains over eighty pages, each page corresponding to a year that Marvel (or Timely or Atlas Comics) published a comic. It's called ''Marvel Comics'' #1000 due to the editors extrapolating what number ''Marvel Comics'' (which turned into ''Marvel Mystery Comics'' and then ''Marvel Tales'') would be had it not stopped being published.

The overall story of the book, written by Al Ewing with a variety of artists, is about the Eternity Mask – a mysterious mask that makes the wearer equal to whomever they fight – and the people who wore the mask, tried to use the mask for their own purpose, or sought the mask. As Robert [=daCosta=], Jimmy Woo, Night Thrasher, and Adam Brashear try to unravel its mystery, they soon learn that the Eternity Mask is intrinsically tied to the history of the Marvel Universe.

!Tropes included in ''Marvel Comics'' #1000:

* AdaptationOriginConnection: The Black Rider and the Masked Raider originally had no connection. Now they do. As do the Operative and the Ferret, who it turns out are the same person. (The Operative is a Golden Age anti-hero that was retconned into existed much later on, while the Ferret originally appeared during the Golden Age.)
* ArcWielding: Al Ewing manages an ''epic'' version of this as he connects the Scientists Guild, the Three [=Xs=], and the Enclave together, as well as the Black Rider, the Masked Raider, the Operative, the Ferret, the Thunderer, and Blind Justice.
* ArtShift: This is a given since every page is by a different artist.
* CallForward: ''Many.'' The Three [=Xs=] mention that they believe a new evolution of humanity will soon appear -- which, ironically, become the X-Men. Then, when they become the Enclave, we see them sketching Adam Warlock's cocoon.
* CanonForeigner: Now that Conan the Barbarian is part of the Marvel Universe, the book features two stories ''not'' set in the Marvel Universe: "Red Four," which is set in the ''Star Wars'' universe, and "Miracleman: Prelude," which is set in Miracleman's universe.
* CoatHatMask: The outfit of the new Masked Raider. His mask just happens to be the Eternity Mask.
* CoolMask: The Eternity Mask. It's not just cool, it makes anyone who wears it is equal to anyone they fight.
* MetaOrigin: The Eternity Mask ties the origin of the Black Rider, the Masked Rider, and the Thunderer together.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: The Eternity Mask makes the wearer the equal to whomever they are fighting. Which means if they are fighting ''the Hulk'', well, they are suddenly as strong as him.
