Excellent book outlining Marvel's rises and falls over the decades.
Excellent book outlining all Marvel's rises and falls over the changing decades in key comic book releases. Lots of information and classic art work packed in there and all very nicely presented. Well worth the tenner. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and came out the other side not only much more historically informed, but also finding myself searching for and ordering some classic comics on eBay too! I find cover art so addictive.
