Product Description
Marvel Comics will celebrate 75 of years of comics excellence in 2014. DK commemorates this special anniversary with Marvel Comics Cover Art, a beautiful, large-scale book featuring some of the most impactful, inspiring, and unusual comic cover art to come out of the Marvel vault.

With access to the rarest and most interesting cover art in Marvel's 75-year history, DK brings together an unforgettable gallery spotlighting the most iconic covers along with never-before-seen concept art from all over the world. Featuring the likes of Spider-Man, Iron Man, and The Avengers, as well as the writers and artists who gave them life, including Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, this book brings together the beloved Marvel characters like no other has done before.

Spreads feature blown-up versions of the beautiful comic art capturing every detail while captioning facts and information about each cover's artist, storyline, and history. Marvel Comics Cover Art is the only book of its kind to span the breadth of Marvel's cover art and is an imperative addition to any collection.

Didn't DK put out a history of Marvel book back in 2000 or so? I seem to remember it having calling Kirby, Ditko, Romita, Buscema and Colan the principle artist with features on each. Some of DK's books are lacking in substance but this one was actually good. I'll probably put 75 Years on my buy list.

I wasn't going to say anything but...

Wouldn't a cover book focus on the best looking covers instead of the most important?

A collage would have been fine. But is that one really the most important one?
