The pair have curated 10 Marvel comics into one, 280-page collectible hardcover collection, now on sale from The Folio Society; 100 signed copies are also now available.
Independent publisher The Folio Society presents “Marvel Unforgettable Stories,” a 280-page hardcover collection of 10 Marvel stories, selected by actor/writer Patton Oswalt and writer Jordan Blum. The selections range from the classic, such as The Amazing Spider-Man #33 from the heart of the Silver Age, to the contemporary Hawkeye #11.
“Marvel Unforgettable Stories” features a new cover and slipcase design by Marvel artist Marcos Martín (“Daredevil”), an introduction by Oswalt, and 280 pages of adventures featuring Spider-Man, Wolverine, Daredevil, and Captain America.
“Unlike so many ‘best-of’ collections, here Patton and Jordan have carefully provided a favorite selection of the comics that have defined their love of Marvel,” said James Rose, Head of Editorial at The Folio Society. “It's a personal journey through some of Marvel's most unforgettable stories. Housed in a hardback volume featuring artwork by Marvel artist Marcos Martín, the selection also includes one or two surprises.”
“Jordan Blum and I—both lifelong comics readers and ‘make mine Marvel’ fanatics—had a hard time picking only 10 stories for this collection,” writes Oswalt in the book’s introduction. “I can hear the bleats and rumblings of, ‘But you didn’t include...’ and ‘How could you forget...’ Lemme save your vocal cords the stress - you’re right. Any objections you have to any stories being passed over? You’re right. There’s simply too many to print under one cover. Hey, maybe buy this edition, and get all of your friends to buy one, and they’ll let us pick 10 more! Capitalism!”
