The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #13

Part of Marvel's 25th Anniversary celebration, this December 1986 installment of the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe — Deluxe Edition covers entries from Super-Adaptoid to Umar. Keith Pollard's pencils and Joe Rubinstein's inks deliver a wonderfully chaotic cover packed with Marvel muscle — Thor swinging his hammer overhead, the Thing charging forward, a massive ape-like figure, Tigra mid-leap, and a crowd of additional heroes and villains surging across the image. It's an energetic snapshot of just how deep and varied the Marvel roster runs, making this volume an essential reference for any fan wanting the full story on this corner of the universe.
