Classic tales from the early 1970's
|
Starting with The Thing on a rampage and leaving the FF after an experiment to help him change to and from Ben Grimm at will goes wrong and affects his mind, leading to a battle royal with The Hulk. How's that for a slow start?
This is a superb collection of silver age stories with new menaces like the Over-Mind and Omega mixed in with the return of an armada of old favourites Dr. Doom (as an ally), Diablo, Galactus and his new herald Gabriel, Klaw, The Monster from the Lost Lagoon, Mole Man, Frightful Four with a strapping new member the awesome Thundra, Dragon man and Gregory Gideon...who he?
Guest starring The Inhumans, Black Panther and the Silver Surfer and not forgetting the Eternals.
There's some great background tales including the Torch losing Crystal to Quicksilver and the early years of Franklin Richards and the mysterious nanny Agatha Harkness.
All this is brought to you courtesy of the creative minds of Stan Lee, Roy Thomas and Gerry Conway and illustrated in the main by the late and great Big John Buscema it looks great even in black and white.
Highly recommended "Make Mine Marvel"
