The Marvel Saga the Official History of the Marvel Universe #9

Marvel Saga #9 packs an impressive range of Marvel history into a single 1986 issue, promising origins for the Angel, the Wasp, and the Vulture, plus coverage of the Fantastic Four, Thor, the Sub-Mariner, and more. The cover, penciled by Keith Pollard and inked by Joe Rubinstein, captures the action vividly: a winged Angel soars through a starfield above a dynamic scene of Spider-Man being ensnared by Doctor Octopus's mechanical tentacles, with Doc Ock himself visible in the background. It's a handsome showcase for the sweep of Marvel's early mythology, curated here by an impressive roster of writers and artists drawing on the publisher's rich back catalog.
