Marvel Firsts The 1970s Volumes 1, 2 and 3

I’m not a big fan of trade paperback graphic novel reprints.  There are exceptions of course such as Marvel Comics Essentials and DC Comics Showcase Presents.

Both reprint key early comic books in black and white in inexpensive compilations that usually consists of 10+ books.

Marvel Press has released a series of three trade paperbacks that I enjoy.

The Marvel Firsts The 1970s Volumes 1, 2 and 3 reprints important Bronze Age stories-many of which are out of most collector’s budgets.
