I'm out of superlatives! *by D***) on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2015* This titanic tome is gorgeous! It's an absolute must-have for anyone interested in the early days of Marvel. Over 200 pages each devoted to Golden Age (with Atlas Era), Silver Age and Bronze Age. The Daily Bugle Table of Contents was a nice touch, with each era broken into two halves, a bit more than 100 per half. The modern era received a scant 60 pages, but it felt about right. There are even a few pages devoted to tying in the Marvel Cinematic era.There are so many great anecdotes and creator as well as collector tidbits sprinkled throughout the fantastic imagery. This is a true labor of love.The good: Seriously, this is a showcase item. It's a conversation starter. Where else can you find intricately detailed Alex Schomburg covers blown up so large? Every page printed with lustrous fidelity on heavy stock. Any imperfections on the source material are captured, giving much of the classic material a time-worn, ancient artifact vibe. I was shocked to see pristine Marvel Mystery 15 original art from Bill Everett!! That was unexpected.The bad: It left me wanting more. Hundreds of covers, interior art, photos, mementos, and still I wanted more. Even though the size can be a bit difficult to deal with, when I finished each section, I had a bit of regret that the era had come to a close. The pacing was great: Roy and his collection of nostalgia editors did a fantastic job of getting an iconic collection of material together. (I know, I know, this was supposed to be the bad, but what can I say... this is near perfect). Okay, there are a few typos here and there. For the number of hardcore editors on this book, I was surprised by the number of minor goofs here and there. Maybe too many cooks in the kitchen?Also, a few of my favorite covers or interiors were shot a bit smaller than I would have liked, such as the Human Torch #12 cover where Torch is melting a guy's flesh to the bone. It's slightly larger than the thumbnail covers on the back of Masterworks volumes. That's offset by full-page or larger details on Marvel Mystery Comics 3 with Sub-Mariner on the conning tower of a sub, or the cover to Human Torch 5 proclaiming the 60-page epic crossover war between Sub-Mariner and Human Torch with the world in the balance. They also have beautiful double-page spreads of Captain America (Avison) and Steranko's quadruple spread from Nick Fury (in gatefold). Each section is offset with an iconic spread printed on reflective cardstock. Gold for Golden Age (Subby vs Torch), Silver (Spider-man meets the FF) and Bronze (Thor, Odin and Hela) and a rainbow iridescent spread of Marvel characters from John Byrne. King-sized Kirby art! Dynamic Ditko art! All the great artists that have walked the Hallowed Halls of Marveldom on display in an amazing volume. I've read through cover to cover twice already. This is a book that's hard to put down (and heavy to hold up too!) Superior quality book that you won't regret owning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Humongous!!! *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018* The media could not be loaded.  This may well be the biggest book I have. It comes with its own travel-box and arrived inside a box-within-a-box and plastic-wrapped. In other words, it was treated with great respect.It is difficult to make a movie and turn its pages at the same time, but I showed a random selection of pages. The art is larger than life-size in vibrant colors.There are many fascinating tidbits of fan mail, insider info, bubble-gum cards, and so on.[edit]Some pages seem to be very thick, at first, but I have found that these are between the major sections and are actually double pages with a glossy metallic print which makes the pages stick. These are very impressive. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Coffee Table Book. *by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2015* As long as you have a sturdy coffee table. I was initially disappointed with this book. Such a large tome, but really, there is little text. Little discussion, little insight. Very little gossip. Yes, great reproductions of original art, covers and comic book pages, but I was hoping for something more substantial from Roy. Each chapter was more or less an overview of the period... and then it was "here are some more pictures!".I still give the production 5 stars. Great quality, great visuals...it's just great. I think if you are looking for some insight into the history of the comic book company, perhaps look at Marvel Comics The Untold Story, Tales to Astonish, or even Stan Lee And The Rise and Fall of the American Comic and Joe Simon: My Life in Comics.My only other advice: If you buy the book, get yourself a lectern. It's not a book to read in bed. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8940490-75-years-of-marvel-from-the-golden-age-to-silver](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8940490-75-years-of-marvel-from-the-golden-age-to-silver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
