3 out of 5 starsThe Marvel Vault
Thit book has a lot of long lost memories for older comic readers but it seems to focus too much on marvel "cash cows" spiderman and wolverine same story different cover.



5 out of 5 starsThe Marvel Vault
This was purchased as a gift for my husband who is an avid comic book collector. He was thrilled with the book and is enjoying it very much. Even though my order was close to Christmas, I received it in time to make it a Christmas gift.



2 out of 5 starsYou can leave this vault unopened
THE MARVEL VAULT is by no means an essential part of your comics history library. The text gives merely a brief overview of the history of Marvel (as others have noted, Les Daniels' MARVEL: FIVE FABULOUS DECADES from 1991 is far better). The art chosen is often unremarkable, and the design leaves much to be desired. But most curiously, the "Vault" aspect of the book is a huge missed opportunity. Most of the pieces recreated and housed in plastic sleeves (and they are scant) could just as easily have been reproduced as art on a page, and the quality of reproduction is horrendous (by contrast, THE HANNA-BARBERA TREASURY contains inserts that truly feel like the originals). If you're one of the legions of Marvel Zombies, then surely you'll find enough to make the book worthwhile, but more discerning fans of comics, writing and design will most certainly be disappointed.



3 out of 5 starsMarvel
Quality ring binder book, some pages upside down.
A book of many parts as they acknowledge a bit like Frankenstein monster and you need to be into Marvel.
