Time trip back to the Silver Age, with this group of (27) 1960s Marvel anthology type comic books. Published during the time when Marvel was first wading into the super-hero genre, these assorted titles paired up various characters, typically with two stories per issue. Front rank heroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Sub-Mariner, Dr. Strange and Nick Fury cut their teeth in these proving ground titles, before moving on to their own long-running solo titles. As can be expected of such vintage classics, condition trends toward the lesser end of the grading scale; however, their great importance and popularity makes up for it.
