These two books, along with the companion Golden Age volumes (I and II) are essential for the serious comic fan and collector. Here are covers of every Marvel comic from 1940's to 1991. Even though I am basically a one-character collector (Spider-Man) and am one book short of having every one ever published, these books are gems! Beautiful color photos of every cover on rich, glossy paper really brings these dynamic covers to life. Although basically a Spidey collector, I grew up reading all of the Marvel heroes and am still fans of them all. These 4 books (these two and the first two volumes dealing with Golden Age books) show comics to be the works of art we all know they are. These books might be a bit too serious for the casual comic enthusiast but are worth their weight in gold for the serious collector!
