Solicit Synopsis

As the Marvel Universe celebrates 70 years of the world's greatest comics, journey back to where it all began -- OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE style! Featuring the greatest characters of Marvel's first year -- a year that not only gave us the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch, the Angel and Ka-Zar, but also THE TWELVE's Black Widow, Phantom Bullet, Electro, Mister E, Dynamic Man, Phantom Reporter, Fiery Mask, Master Mind Excello and Laughing Mask! Also featuring a host of oddities from Fletcher Hanks' Whirlwind Carter to Taxi Taylor! Plus: an introduction by Timely comics scholar Dr. Michael J. Vassallo!

Notes

  • Also contains a forward written by noted comics historian Dr. Michael J. Vassallo.
  • Marvel Mystery Handbook 70th Anniversary Special #1 is full of errors regarding the information on the Three Xs. The story is clearly placed in New York City but it mistakenly says it takes place in Baltimore, Carol Carson is referred to as "Carl Carson", and it mistakenly says "Carl" was the one kidnapped by the Green Terror when the story has Maisie Leeds be the woman who was kidnapped which incorrectly then label Maisie as Ted Barry's fiancé instead of Carol.
