Marvel 1985 (written on the cover as simply 1985) is a six-issue American comic book limited series, published in 2008 by Marvel Comics. It was written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards.
A boy named Toby Goodman recently started reading Secret Wars comics. His parents are divorced, he is ostracized by his classmates and doesn't have many friends. Toby is seen walking home with his dad, when he thinks that he sees the Red Skull in the window of a house. Toby is reluctant to tell anyone about his discovery, but then he sees the Vulture on the television. Toby revisits the house where he saw the Red Skull and finds Doctor Doom and Mole Man talking about taking over our world. Dr. Doom hears Toby and orders his minions to chase after him. Toby runs away to the woods and trips over The Hulk, ending the first issue.
The Hulk tells Toby his mind is currently that of Bruce Banner, and that he was pulled into this world by an unknown force. Just then, the Juggernaut comes out from the woods, and attacks the Hulk. The resulting devastation prompts Toby to run away. Meanwhile, Toby's dad goes to an assisted living home to see Clyde Wyncham, a catatonic man whose house is the one that were seem in the Marvel villains, and he was Toby's father's friend in grade school. Then Toby finds his father and tells him about the Hulk. His father responds to by saying he shouldn't go near the Wyncham house again, and that he shouldn't tell anyone about what happened, because "People won't want to hear it ...Believe me". When Toby comes home, his mother and stepfather tell him that his stepfather is up for a job in England, and if he gets it, they will move. Finally, the Stilt-Man is seen walking by Toby's dad's house, and the Sandman and Electro attack a couple at their home, one of whom was the nurse at Wyncham's nursing home.
