Awesome book for marvel fans. Nice broad range of characters and details. Just a shame amazon don't seem to look after collecters books on there shelfs. Arrived with dents/scratches all over front cover and corners. Returned and bought elsewhere.

My friend who is a comic fan loved this

Really good.

This is for my grandson who has been reading it at school and absolutely loves it so he'll be one happy little boy on Xmas day.

This is a very extensive overview of the entire Marvel Universe in the comics. It is beautiful illustrated. You get a lot for a small price. It's certainly worth the money imo.

Great gift for a marvel fan! Prompt service also
