Reviews

[Terry Collins · Rating 1 out of 5]

Strictly a cash grab by Marvel, with shoddy reproduction that weighs historical value over quality. Yes, featuring original covers and pages you might want to enjoy in black or white, or, perish forbid, actually sit down and color is important ... but these are just terrible by way of bad sources and print quality. An embarrassment - except for the Jim Steranko pages, which are as crisp and clean as artwork produced yesterday. Perhaps his legendary mania for hanging onto all of his original art provided Marvel the ability to make such vibrant stats.
