Marvel (First Impressions)
I don't even like comic books, but I was completely enthralled by this book. The hefty 300 pages of high clay-content, color-saturated pages with over 700 illustrations and detailed text covers the 50-year history of the canonical comic books company which later became one of the industry's greatest innovators.

In addition to being highly praised within the comic book community, this book has also received rave reviews from mainstream magazines such as Newsday and People.
