The original Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe is collected in a single hardcover for the very first time! It's the fact-filled series that put the entire Marvel Universe into the hands of wide-eyed fans of the 1980s! The OHOTMU featured stunning original art from some of the era's biggest names, and in-depth profiles of Marvel's greatest heroes and villains - from Abomination to Zzzax and pretty much everyone who was anyone (at the time) in between! Plus a lengthy section devoted to then-dead and inactive characters, and a whole book of diagrams detailing Marvel's most iconic weapons, hardware and paraphernalia! With origins, team affiliations, super power assessments and other vital statistics, this is the ultimate reference tome for the first four decades of Marvel history!
