Marvel Treasury Edition #1-28

In 1974 Marvel introduced us to something a heck of a lot larger than good old Giant-Size comics: . The treasury format is an oversized soft-cover format which was seen a few times in the 70's. Tabloid-sized 10” x 13” suckers that were so big (roughly twice the size of normal comic books), they fell over on the newsstand. Most of these issues included at least a few pages of original material, even if the bulk of the content consisted of reprints. Awkward to store properly, these are not expensive, but it is hard to find them in good condition now. All in all twenty-eight (28) Treasury Editions were published. I could say "complete" on the post title but I'm uncomfortable with that nomenclature; for one issue #12 featuring Howard the Duck and the Defenders (Dr. Strange, Namor the Sub-Mariner, the Silver Surfer and the Hulk) incomplete. Instead of eighty-four (84) pages there are only thirty-five (35 - including cover) in the CBZ file. Nevertheless, the rest seem complete. I say "seem" because I am barely halfway through reading all 28 comic books. The Marvel Treasury Editions started in September 1974 with 100 giant pages of and ended in 1981 with the 68-page . The latter is the second Marvel/DC crossover ever published, following 1976's one-shot . Marvel and DC had previously collaborated on a treasury edition of The Wizard of Oz, but this is only the second time characters owned by both companies were used together. It would be followed by several other crossovers in the years to come. Marvel Treasury Edition #28 however was largely the work of Marvel with DC Comics' approval, although it is considered the "sequel" to the first crossover. Instead of archiving I decided to present the issues individually, so as to provide latitude with choice. For details, may I respectfully direct you to the authoritative and accurate (click). All 28 Treasury Editions are depicted there complete with descriptions, solicitations, front and back covers.
