As a complement to Origins of Marvel Comics, this is the book that collects the seminal works that contributed to my becoming a writer. Along with writer, Stan Lee — and introducing Don Heck (Iron Man), Bill Everett (Daredevil), John Buscema (The Silver Surfer), and others as illustrators — this team continued to create groundbreaking characters and story lines, continuing The Golden Age of Comics from the 1960s into contemporary cinema. Highly recommended and irreplaceably valuable.

This is the follow up volume to "Origins of Marvel Comics" and continues in presenting key Silver Age Marvel stories. Another nice collection, all contained in one book.

If you wanna find out how the popular Marvel Comics superheroes came to be, this is the book for you. It features the X-Men, Iron Man, The Avengers, Daredevil, Silver Surfer and a few others. It is their first issues reprinted. The artwork and costumes are a lot cooler than the comics of today. Yep, just an old man rehashing the good days. It is a fun read.
