                      AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO SCHEDULE 13G
                                     
                                     
     This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13G (this "Amendment") is being filed
on behalf of Value Partners, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership ("Value
Partners"), Ewing & Partners, a Texas general partnership ("Ewing &
Partners"), and Timothy G. Ewing, the managing general partner of Ewing &
Partners, as an amendment to the initial statement on Schedule 13G relating
to shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"),
of Marvel Enterprises, Inc. (the "Company") as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on October 9, 1998 , as amended
by Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G filed with the Commission on January 14,
1999, and further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13G filed with the
Commission on February 1, 1999 (the "Initial Statement").  This Amendment
is being filed to reflect an increase in beneficial ownership by Value
Partners of the Company's Common Stock.

ITEM 4    OWNERSHIP:

          Item 4 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and restated in
          its entirety to read as follows:
          
          See Items 5 through 11 on page 2 for Value Partners, page 3 for
          Ewing & Partners and page 4 for Mr. Ewing.
     
          On March 9, 1999, Value Partners acquired 75,000 shares of
          the Company's Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock").  Additionally,
          on January 12, 1999, Value Partners received 10,607 shares of
          Preferred Stock as a dividend payment.  Each share of Preferred
          Stock can be exchanged, at any time, by the holder thereof, for
          1.039 shares of Common Stock.  Consequently, Value Partners has
          the sole power to vote and dispose of the 3,459,845 shares of
          Common Stock beneficially owned by it. Ewing & Partners, as
          general partner of Value Partners, may direct the vote and
          disposition of the 3,459,845 shares of Common Stock owned by
          Value Partners. Similarly, Mr. Ewing, as managing general partner
          of Ewing & Partners, may direct the vote and disposition of the
          3,459,845 shares of Common Stock owned by Value Partners.

          Mr. Ewing has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 1,990
          shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him.  Mr. Ewing does
          not share the power to vote or to direct the vote of, or the
          power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 1,990 shares
          of Common Stock owned by him.



                                 SIGNATURE

          After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and
belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Amendment is true,
complete and correct.
