The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe #13

This February 1984 installment kicks off the "Book of the Dead and Inactive" section of Marvel's beloved reference series, covering characters from Air-Walker to Man-Wolf. John Byrne's pencils and Joe Rubinstein's inks bring a striking procession of fallen and sidelined Marvel figures marching forward on the cover — among them a green-and-yellow costumed figure in the lead, a caped sorcerer, a white-tiger-costumed character, a blue-and-red hero striding to the right, and a crowd of others including a small fairy-like figure and characters lurking at the edges. For fans who want to know everything about the characters who didn't survive — or simply stepped out of the spotlight — this issue is an essential companion to the broader Handbook saga.
