Editorial Review:

Amazon.com Review:
A motherlode of comic history, Marvel Comic Book Library Vol. 1 captures the first 10 issues of 10 classic comic books on one unbelievably priced CD-ROM. Most are from Marvel's Golden Age in the 1960s--Spider-Man, Hulk, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, Captain America, the Avengers, the Sub-Mariner, Iron Man, and Silver Surfer. The exception is the X-Men, who were also created in the 1960s but are represented here by the 1970s incarnation that soon became the hottest property in comics with the introduction of such characters as Wolverine, Colossus, and Storm (their 10-issue sampling begins appropriately with Giant-Size X-Men #1). And with that same exception, all the series were written by Stan Lee, most often with art by Jack Kirby but with other Marvel Bullpen denizens such as Steve Ditko and Wally Wood.

Navigation is easy, with a main character menu followed by cover thumbnails. (Minor quibble: the main menu uses more modern art, for example, the John Byrne Fantastic Four.) Some other points of clarification: the Captain America stories are from his solo series in Tales of Suspense (issues 59-68), which he shared with Iron Man. Those Iron Man stories, however, are not included here, and Tony Stark's alter ego is represented by his initial appearances in Tales of Suspense 39-48. Similarly, the Sub-Mariner is represented by his solo run in Tales to Astonish (issues 70-79), which he shared with Hulk, who is represented instead by the first six issues of his own book then four stories (issues 60-63) from Tales to Astonish. And the Silver Surfer's issues are from his solo series rather than his initial appearance in Fantastic Four.

Marvel Comic Book Library Vol. 1 is an excellent deal. If you were to buy these same issues in book form, in color, you'd want the Marvel Masterworks series at $30-$50 per 10-issue book. The downside is that these classic comics have a high comfort-food factor, and even non-Luddites would probably agree that it's more fun to curl up on the couch with a physical book than to sit down at your PC. (OK, you could curl up with your laptop if you really want to.) But this is an easy and affordable way to sample what you want, then pick up must-haves later.

Now we just need a volume 2, with the original X-Men, Thor, Doctor Strange.... --David Horiuchi

Pros:

A generous, convenient, and good-looking compilation of classic comic books
Very affordable
Sensible navigation

Cons

Just the relatively sterile computer presentation

Product Description:
The Marvel Comic Book Library is a complete collection of stories that chronicle the early adventures of world-famous superheroes!

- Fantastic!

I love this software.
Great to use my computer to index the items.

- Lo! How the Mighty Have Fallen!
As a Marvel fan since 1968 onward, I've dreamed of a collection like this. The classic icon heroes of my youth forever preserved in pristine condition, dynamically digitized, electronically enumerated! Herein, find, if ye dare, the original appearance not only of most core heroes of the Marvel Universe, but the supremely villanous counterparts: Dr Doom, The Mandarin, Doc Ock, Magneto. A rogue's gallery! Art by the incomparable Jack "King" Kirby and Steve Ditko! Scripts by Stan "The ... Read More

- Great value to visit the "roots" of Marvel
As a 28-year-old life-long Marvel fan, I could not pass up this CD collection, even though I already own the Essential Spider-Man vol. 1 and the Essential X-Men vol. 1 (the contents of both books are covered on this CD).

I was glad to see that it was Mac-compatible; however, if you own a Mac, don't run this collection on Safari, as it doesn't handle the Dj-Vu plug-in properly (it works just fine with Explorer). Basically, instead of using an application like Adobe Acrobat Reader, you use ... Read More

- Can't wait for Volume 2!!!
If you can't afford the Marvel Masterworks this is the disc for any Marvel fan. If only the entire line of one character could be on one disk. For instance the first hundred issues of Fantastic Four by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby would be a great place to start. All I can say is why didn't they put this out a lot sooner. If anyone here likes this I'd say e mail Marvel and ask for more. It's the only affordable way to see classic comics.

- Excelsior! Wonderful Tribute and Archive to Marvel Comics!
If anybody has tried to repurchase, look into purchasing, or even wondered if the early Marvel Comics' main Lines-this is the product for them to get! To have it on CD-Rom and in great resolution is a wonderful thing! I really appreciate the fact that I did not have to pay out my Retirement funds to be to own the paper versions of these stories, but anybody in the comics business will tell you-these issues are very, very costly. Wonderful stories, imagination, Kirby at the pencils and Stan Lee providing ... Read More
