A Great Synopsis of Marvel Characters for the first 4 Decades
As a long-time reader of Marvel Comics, I thought it would be fun to have a reference guide on my shelves, in case I'd forgotten a few characters when reading current issues or trade collections. This book didn't disappoint. It features listings, by decade, of each character and/or team, with a synopsis of their development through each of the '60s, '70s,...

Hit and miss
It's an interesting idea, but it's a bit too hit and miss. There are too many entries featuring obscure and one-shot characters.

Still, there are some points of interest for die hard fans.

As a long-time reader of Marvel Comics, I thought it would be fun to have a reference guide on my shelves, in case I'd forgotten a few characters when reading current issues or trade collections. This book didn't disappoint.
It features listings, by decade, of each character and/or team, with a synopsis of their development through each of the '60s, '70s, '80s & '90s. Also included are images from various issues, showing how the characters have changed through the years. Great book for research, reminders or to bring a young reader on board who needs some background as he/she gets introduced to comics.
