Monster
Society of Evil |
|
The first golden age serial story reprinted in one
place. To me the historical significance and the era that the story
is from supercedes the Shazam from the 40s to the 70s book.

Doctor
Strange Masterworks Vol. 1 |

The essence of Marvelmania.
-- Daniel Torrens
Not being a Dr. Strange fan prior to this book, I
was a little hesitant about this volume. It's now one of my favorites.
Ditko makes every panel a surreal masterpiece. And the book concludes
with a roller-coaster, 12-part epic epic that doesn't let up!

Superman:
From the 30s to the 70s |
| |
This is included over Man of Tomorrow Volume 1 due to its variety
of ages and number of stories of historical significance versus
that volume.

JLA/Avengers:
The Collector's Edition
|
|
|
Wonderful! And we only had to wait 20 years...
-- Jason Manahan
A gorgeous, oversize, hardcover fanboy's feast: the
ultimate superhero team-up, by Kurt Busiek and George Perez, who
could have been born to execute this project. Includes a second
volume of sketches and the existing pages from the previous, aborted
1980s attempt at the idea which foundered on intercompany politics.

Will Eisner showed everyone how it could and should be done with
inventive artwork and memorable short stories on a weekly basis.
While the presence of Ebony White dates, ages, and diminishes the
strip far more than the other selections on this list, the rock-solid
presentation of adventure, humor and graphic storytelling elevate
this newspaper strip series far above minor quibbles about political
correctness viewed through a fifty-year-old rearview mirror. Every
story is a little treasure!
