For comic lovers, there is a truly special project that brings together the best of classic and modern comics in a limited edition. It is an exclusive volume that collects some of the most exciting stories from Marvel, offering a perfect blend between the classic and the modern. This book has been curated by two well-known figures in the entertainment world: Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, who have selected 10 Marvel comics from different eras, creating a unique work for collectors.
A Unique Edition for True Fans
This volume features 280 pages of pure adventure, filled with stories starring some of Marvel's most iconic characters, such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, Daredevil, and Captain America. But what makes this edition even more special is that it is not just any book. The cover has been designed by Marvel illustrator Marcos Martín, and it includes an introduction written by Patton Oswalt himself. For the most passionate collectors, there is also a limited edition with 100 signed copies by the authors.
A Personal Selection of Key Stories
What really sets this edition apart is that it is not simply a random collection of comics, but a personal selection made by Oswalt and Blum. Both are comic fans, and as such, they chose their favorite stories to include in this volume. However, the process was not easy at all. In a joking tone, the authors comment that some readers might feel disappointed by the stories that were not included, which opens the possibility for future editions with more acclaimed titles.
Some of the standout stories include The Amazing Spider-Man #33, Daredevil #191, and X-Men #205, but there are also surprises from more recent comics like Hawkeye #11. The combination of the best of both worlds – the classic and the contemporary – offers a unique experience for Marvel fans.
A Collaboration Between Marvel and The Folio Society
This project is part of a series of collaborations between Marvel and The Folio Society, a publisher known for creating high-quality collector's books. Over the years, this society has released other special editions that collect the best comics from Marvel's different eras. This new edition is not only an opportunity to own a selection of iconic stories from Marvel's history, but also a way to celebrate and preserve the rich heritage of the publisher's comics.
A Unique Opportunity for Collectors and New Fans
If you are a comic fan, this edition is a unique opportunity to have in your hands a special selection of some of the most important stories in Marvel's history. And if you are not a fan, this edition is also the perfect starting point to dive into this fascinating universe of superheroes and adventures. Undoubtedly, this book represents a true gem for any collector and a tribute to the stories that have marked generations of readers.
"Although some stories were left out, this volume reflects our personal vision of the comics that have impacted us the most," – Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum.
