I have a terrific book coming up in September

MARVEL MYSTERY HANDBOOK: 70TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL

Written by MICHAEL HOSKIN, RONALD BYRD, ANTHONY FLAMINI, STUART VANDAL, KEVIN GARCIA, JACOB ROUGEMONT, DAVID WILTFONG & SEAN MCQUAID Cover by MITCH BREITWEISER

As the Marvel Universe celebrates 70 years of the world's greatest comics, journey back to where it all began -- OFFICIAL HANDBOOK OF THE MARVEL UNIVERSE style! Featuring the greatest characters of Marvel's first year -- a year that not only gave us the Sub-Mariner, the Human Torch, the Angel and Ka-Zar, but also THE TWELVE's Black Widow, Phantom Bullet, Electro, Mister E, Dynamic Man, Phantom Reporter, Fiery Mask, Master Mind Excello and Laughing Mask! Also featuring a host of oddities from Fletcher Hanks' Whirlwind Carter to Taxi Taylor! Plus: an introduction by Timely comics scholar Dr. Michael J. Vassallo! 64 PGS./Rated T+ ...$4.99

The Golden Age of Marvel Comics has been one of my passions for a very long time so I'm quite excited about the opportunity I had here - getting to write up all the starring heroes of Marvel's first year makes for an eclectic bunch of profiles. It may not be the most popular handbook I'll ever write, but it's the one I'm most proud of right now.
