This anthology collects Marvel comic-book stories from the 1970s, a decade in which the company's heroes were written toward darker plots, social argument, and new protagonists. The selection takes in Spider-Man's personal losses, the revived X-Men, the arrival of Wolverine, Luke Cage, a Black Panther African storyline, Iron Man's drinking, and cosmic or horror-tinged experiments. A facsimile of a key X-Men issue often accompanies the hardback. The volume is a period survey of monthly serials rather than a single narrative, chosen to show how the line changed after the late 1960s.
