I'm not a die-hard Marvel fans by any means, but I've read my share of their comics when I was younger.
Usually, I've always sticked to mini-series or Graphic novels, well, any story that would begin and end in itself, without me having to follow its conclusions on a lot of other books.
In doing so, I develeloped great admiration for the writers and artists of these comics. Men like John Buscema, Neil Adams, George Perez, Gerry Conway, David Michelinie, Roy Thomas, John Byrne, Jim Starlin... well, you got the picture.
So, an encyclopedia like this suits me perfectly. There are tons of drawings (the thing I most like) and enough information for someone like me who is not a scholar on the Marvel Universe, and all of that gorgeously packed. This book sits next to the DC Ecncyclopedia which I also bought.

A great gift for Marvel readers and a coffee table book for Marvel Families. This book brings back memories and provides helpful chronology. In the sixties, Iron Man was yellow, the X-Men were blue and yellow, and Daredevil was black and yellow. Marvel sure liked yellow.
