The level of creative genius that was present at Marvel comics in the early sixties was astounding, new and interesting characters were created on a regular basis. While the characters have changed over time, the reader of the first issues featuring that character will still recognize them in the feature films that have come out four decades later. What I liked best about this book is that Stan Lee includes an explanation of some of the ideas that led to the character. This look back into their thought processes will interest all people that have ever enjoyed reading a comic book.
The origins featured in this book are:
*) The X-Men
*) Iron Man
*) The Avengers
*) Daredevil
*) Nick Fury, Agent of S. H. I. E. L. D.
*) The Watcher
*) The Silver Surfer
this volume brings us the first tales of some of the most popular comic heros today..Iron man ...the invincible golden avenger when he was grey......daredevil....who is enjoying incredible popularity even today due to the writing of kevin (dogma) smith...the strangest super heroes of them all the X-men, who are now the stars of a blockbuster summer movie (which was also pretty good by the way)...the mighty avengers...featuring the hulk, thor, ironman....i enjoyed tracing the origins of these
