Marvel Comics 70th Anniversary Special #1

The cover looks almost exactly like the cover of the first Marvel/ Timely comics that started it all. This was actually the first book I read in this series, and the only book I paid full price for the day it came out in 2009. Now that I think about it, I think this issue came free with the purchase of 2 other Marvel 70^th books. So, I paid full price for them.  But for some reason, I never reviewed this book upon completing.

  IT IS a reprint of Marvel Comics #1. The stories are very good but the plotting is choppy and art is rough as most 1939 comics were in those days. However, upon reading other Marvel 70^th specials, most of the material in this book is also contained elsewhere. So, I am glad I didn’t pay full price after all. There’s a second cover to this book that has a more modern looking cover. But why would anyone want that one? I’ll stick with my replica cover, thank you.

Worth Consuming- but remember, most of this material is reprinted in other anniversary specials.

Rating 9 out of 10 stars.
