    1st printing. By Pierre A. Comtois. ALL-NEW! This latest volume in the ongoing "Marvel Comics in the..." series takes you back to the companys late 1960s era, when past throwaway villains suddenly became world shakers, and stories grew to encompass the earnestness and immediacy of the turbulent times. As the company's western, monster, and dramedy offerings waned, their super-heroes exploded as Marvel boldly entered the pop culture arena with increased attention from critics and college students. Featured here are the best of those stories not covered previously, completing issue-by-issue reviews of every Marvel comic of note from 1966-1969! See scores of handy, easy to reference new entries on the final issues of Tales of Suspense, Astonish, and Strange Tales; The Mighty Thor, Fantastic Four, the Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil, the Avengers, and X-Men; and newcomers Silver Surfer, Captain Marvel, and more! It's author Pierre Comtois' last word on Marvels grandiose years, when Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Don Heck, John Buscema, Gene Colan, and John Romita—together with writer/editor Stan Lee and righthand man Roy Thomas—continued to build an unprecedented new universe of excitement! Softcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 224 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.95.
