Product Description
In September, 1939 a new voice hit the newsstands and changed the comic-book world forever: Marvel Comics #1, with its blazing Human Torch cover, had arrived! And this 64-page pulp package wasn’t your typical assortment of super-powered, straight-laced, do-gooders – this was something completely new.

    This volume is more than a book because it also contais the history of golden age comics and comics writers & editiors in the USA. It is quite a need for all of us who love comics and want to preserve good and fond memories of those comics that marked our childhood (and life as well. I do strongly recommend it and wait other golden age comics omnibus soon again. Rating: 5 / 5

    A MUST have book, for anyone who was ever a marvel comics fan. The 12 original issues from 1939-1940 reprinted in it, would today cost a reader A half million or more.It’s worth it just for the early sub-mariner and human torch stories alone, through the other material is interesting.

    This book is incredible. I am not terribly familiar with golden age comics, but these are very fun. The Bill Everett Sub-Mariner stories are especially twisted. This is pre-Comics Code material, the medium was relatively young and was evolving quickly and their was a lot of experimentation before they arrived at The Marvel Style. Highly Recommended!
