My very first Marvel Comic Book was The Fantastic Four #1. I remember buying it off a newsstand at 10-cents, rolling it up and putting in my back pocket. From then on I was hooked on Marvel Comics-buying almost every title it turned out.
There was something new, exciting and different about Marvel Comics. It was not just the stories and art, there was something more.
As I grew older and decided to become a graphic designer I discovered what it was: Marvel Comics were more than words and pictures-they were newsprint examples of design. From the page layouts to the choice of type fonts Marvel Comics drew me in with their colors, page dynamics, powerful sound effects type and graphic flow.
