The Deluxe Limited edition (which was limited to only 1200 copies) is in a maroon/red slip case - if purchasing this title remember ISBN-10: 0756623588 is for the first American Edition and ISBN-10: 075662472X is for the deluxe limited edition. The Deluxe Limited Edition is beautiful - well worth the money - not only lmited to 1200 copies but also has a superior binding - and it will probably appreciate in value. So buyer beware...make sure you are getting the proper binding - ask questions or ask for photos before you buy this title - I personally have asked 10 buyers on various venues about there offerings and haven't found any (out side of Amazon that was offering the right editon)... The art work is wonderful in either edition but if you are a collector you want the deluxe limited editon.

My son is a huge Spiderman and Super Friends fan. He asks questions constantly about certain characters, their powers, are they good guys or bad guys, etc. For Christmas, my Wife gave me the DC Comics version so he and I could look up all the characters and know the who's and what's of each. Great time spent with something we both enjoy. I bought the Marvel version as a companion resource as he really is in to Spiderman more.
One Note - the Marvel world is abit darker as far as the look of characters, and how they got their powers, etc. Some of these did scare him a bit, but after we talked about how this is all made up, someone's imagination he was OK. Just know if you child scares easily, you may want to see a copy first before showing it to him/her.
