Marvel Age of Comics 1961–1978, 40th Edition looks at the formative years when Marvel introduced characters like Spider‑Man, the Fantastic Four, the X‑Men, and more. Roy Thomas, a longtime Marvel writer and editor, walks through key storylines, creators, and editorial shifts, while the book reproduces covers, interior pages, and behind‑the‑scenes art. It’s a visual history that treats the early superhero boom as both pop phenomenon and creative experiment.

WHY WE PICKED IT
Because it’s a generous, image‑heavy overview of the era that still shapes superhero comics and movies. Marvel Age of Comics 1961–1978 is a great pick for fans who want to go beyond individual omnibuses and see the bigger picture.
