 Essential Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe.

A brand new book telling you about the characters in the Marvel Universe... up to 1982.


The only market for the up-to-date version would be the sadder branches of fanboyishness - so you can only guess at the sadness of someone who'd want to read the older version. (Unless you know me, in which case you know how sad I am.)

I saw that the other day and must admit to almost buying it, I have some of the originals from the early 90s when they came out, they were pretty cool, on quality card and punched so you could put them into binders.

 I've got those too. Plus, I've got one of the gaming "year" updates (I think there were two). I wish I'd kept my old copies of Dragon Magazine, there were a lot of interesting Marvel stats/histories in there.

 Looking forward to the new version. I didn't get the 1990's version, but I did get the DC Who's Who that came out at about the same time.

I had comic pros trying to buy the last DC Who's Who off me.

Got some of the Dragon updates kept from those issues of Dragon I got rid of.

Isn't the current Marvel Who's who in a comic format, with a bunch of reprinted pics?
I really liked the format of the binder and pages but you ended up with some real dross, I'd like to see that kind of Who's Who but in, for example a group A-Z (IE X-Men, Spider-man etc) format rather than the A-Z of the entire Universe. Something a bit more substantial than the comic formats but less so and more friendly than the book format.

Isn't that the Essential Guide Hardbacks like that Avengers one that gave away Ronin's identity?

Marvel also did Guides to Hulk, Avengers etc as Hardbacks in the past few years.

I'd much rather get dross as dross sparks more ideas than the characters you already know loads about.

Fair point, there are the hardbacks, but what are the comic ones they have done recently, there was an Ultimates one just a few weeks ago.
