Title: Excellent entry in the series - Johnny R fans should love it
Product review: This is a great volume in the Marvel Essential series. Not only being a pivotal series in the Marvel canon, this also features some of the best artwork that John Romita Sr. would ever put out. He was so synonymous with Marvel that he was often called in (when he was art director) to redo faces and figures on covers and stories done by other artists so they looked more "Marvel" (much like Curt Swan/Kurt Shaffenberger would do for Superman in Jack Kirby's Fourth World stories).One important note: If you buy the first printing of this volume, make sure you also buy the first printing of Volume 3, or you will be missing a couple of issues (or just buy the current prints of the whole series).
