5.0 out of 5 stars Like opening a Marvel time capsule, 26 Sep 2007

By	I. R. Kerr (Lancashire) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Roy Thomas and Peter Sanderson have gathered together in this book not only a history of Marvel from Marvel Comics # 1 (1939) up to 2006, which is impressive enough but a whole host of extras from Marvel's past make it a superb collector's item.
From reproductions of sketches of Marvel's WW2 heroes, especially the Sub-Mariner, Marvel's longest lasting continual character, the original Torch being an android. There's a reproduction MMMS membership card (I was a member of FOOM in the 1970's), the no-prize book, Marvel value stamps and many more items, it's a nostalgics dream. There are also truly personal items like Bill Everett's postcards.
Marvel fans are an intrinsic part of the Marvel extended family and although like most families, there are the odd breakdowns by and large Marvel has kept a large and loyal fan-base. It does not gloss over the collapse of Marvel and the comic industry in the 1990's due to corporate over-reach (greed) and the eventual rebirth, through to Heroes Reborn, and the recent spate of blockbuster movies.
Reading through it the names of the people who made Marvel great, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Roy Thomas himself, John Buscema, John Romita and countless others appear and invoke great memories. I was a Marvelite in the 1970's and 1980's and am now catching up on both the stories I read first time round and many I missed out on. This book is full of absolutely wonderful art reproductions that cover almost 70 years and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, 'nuff said.

5.0 out of 5 stars comic nerd heaven!, 20 Sep 2007

By	Mr. R. Mcghee (northern ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an amazing piece of kit collecting over sixty years of marvel history. Even die hard 'marvelites' (i know it's not a real word) will find a wealth of info and facts unknown to them. The amount of care and attention that Thomas and Sanderson have put into this book is breath taking. Everything is faultless from the autographs printed on the inside cover to the reproductions of early sketches of the submarnier right through to the traiding cards included in slip cases. In the words of smiling Stan the man: Excelsior!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent gift for a Marvel Fan, 11 Jan 2008

By	C. POSTIN (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this for my husband as a gift and he loves it. I am not really into the whole Marvel thing myself, but found myself interested enough to read it from cover to cover. Excellent and a great price on Amazon.
