Any comics fan with a Tumblr account is probably well aware of this book, as Mr. Howe has been ceaselessly posting images related to this work for the past several months, but for the rest of you we want to make sure you know that this close to 500 page account of Marvel Comics, from its 1930s inception through its 1960s heyday and up to its 21st century rise into a massive, muscle-bound multimedia powerhouse is finally out on the new arrival table here at Copacetic. It's a breezily told, anecdote filled account that puts together people and places and situates them in a comprehensive chronology. While this work is far from the last word on the subject, and makes little in the way of critical analysis, the story of Marvel Comics is a great story, and this volume is sure to be of interest to any longtime Marvel Comics reader.
