The Marvel Saga the Official History of the Marvel Universe #2

The cover of this 1986 series — Ron Frenz pencils and Al Milgrom inks — delivers a vivid collage of Marvel's earliest mythology, with Spider-Man's masked face looming large alongside a tumbling civilian, a snarling Hulk dominating the lower right, and a dramatic explosion scene in the background. The cover copy promises deep dives into the origins of both Spider-Man and the Hulk, with additional material on the Fantastic Four, the Sub-Mariner, and the Sinister Skrulls. The Marvel Saga: The Official History of the Marvel Universe #2 is exactly the kind of lovingly assembled retrospective that reminds you just how much world-building Marvel packed into its formative years.
