Marvel Legacy: The 1960s Handbook

Back in the 80s, Marvel issued the first in a number of series that detailed the background histories and superpowers of virtually all of its characters and called it Marvel Universe: A-Z. The series has since been updated and reissued many times. But for this production, Marvel invites readers to: “Imagine a Handbook written at 11:59pm on December 31, 1969.” Unfortunately, there are a lot of “missing” Marvel characters that probably would have been included had this book actually been issued in 1969, namely from the Western and Comedy genres. But it’s still an intriguing idea that succeeds on that level alone.
