I finally decided to give in to the temptation, and WOW, am I glad I did! I had an absolute BLAST reading this book. The book is beautifully designed; It looks, smells, and feels GREAT. It's so attractive that at times I actually hated to open it for fear of getting it dirty. The cover art by Kaare Andrews is just gorgeous. Content-wise, Author Michael Mallory does a nice job of covering the history of the Marvel Bullpen and it's major players (Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko), and the Marvel Universe and it's major characters (Captain America, The Hulk, Spider-Man, and The X-Men each get extensive chapters of their own, The Fantastic Four, The Avengers, Daredevil, The Silver Surfer, et al, all share smaller chapters). The chapters are lavishly illustrated, and filled with beautiful art from the Comics, Movies, TV shows, and video games that the characters have appeared in. I'm a REAL Marvel Comic afficionado, and not only did I NOT find too many mistakes in the book (A few, but nothing major...), but I actually learned a lot; My favorite tidbit- Captain America co-creator Joe Simon hails from my adopted hometown of Rochester, New York. Marvel: The Characters and Their Universe is a luxury item, to be sure, but one I'm glad I splurged on. I guarantee any Marvel Zombie will love it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Possibly the solution to the great American Novel *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 11, 2015* Possibly the solution to the great American Novel...this book changed my life. When I ordered this book I had no hope. I weight 260 pounds and my life was downward spiral - on the road from person to big powdered donut. Just three pages in I began to see the light. Now, I am proud to say that I am a 140 pound Latina woman with an intimate knowledge of my heritage (for better and for worse). Gracias Marvel! Olé! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Job - Good Merchandise *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 29, 2014* I had previously purchased a copy of this book from another dealer under the impression that it was new - it wasn't and I had paid more for the copy. Thank goodness that Amazon accepts returns!!! This volume received today (1-29-14) arrived in perfect shape. As this is destined to be a gift, it certainly needed to be in good condition.
