Criv-ites not buying the new softcover MARVEL MASTER-
WORKS are missing out on something special. As well as printing
the most accurate versions of classic Marvel stories to date (the repro-
duction quality of some tales in the FF volume being superior to the
OMNIBUS edition), the books also include terrific extras.
Case in point: The above painting by DEAN WHITE (over
JACK KIRBY) of FF #1 is simply stunning. The illo was used on
the cover, but with the background blacked out - as is the case with all
volumes in the series. However, the first two releases (SPIDER-MAN
and FANTASTIC FOUR) included the full paintings in the back of
the books, with subsequent volumes displaying the unedited art-
work of the next one to come, inside the back cover.
The books are worth having for these fantastic paintings alone,
never mind the cataclysmic classics from Marvel's heyday. What
are you waiting for? Start buying these titanic tomes today!
