Marvel Anthology, Creator-Centric, & Magazine Omnibus Mapping | 14th Annual Tigereyes Most-Wanted Marvel Omnibus Poll

Once every year, thousands of Marvel collectors from around the world gather together online to watch Near Mint Condition and vote on their most-wanted omnibus titles. That time approaches – time for the Tigereyes Most Wanted Marvel Omnibus 14th Annual Secret Ballot! This post explains every remaining Marvel omnibus map of material that has not yet been collected comprehensively in omnibus – from Silver Age Romance to Magazines to Handbooks to creator-focused anthologies.

As one of the organizers of the poll, I work closely with Tigereyes and a team of Mapping Minties to be sure Marvel’s entire publishing history has been mapped, with every issue fitting somewhere into an omnibus volume to fill your oversize Marvel shelf. Then, we’ll kick off the poll on Near Mint Condition on March 22, 2026.

Read this post and others in the series for a list of titles and omnibus mappings created by a group of the biggest collected edition enthusiasts on the internet. Every map is informed by Crushing Krisis comic guides and over a decade of polling data as explained by yours truly – keeper of the most-definitive guides to Marvel’s collected editions on the planet.

Marvel Silver Age Non-Hero Comics Omnibus Mapping

Atlas Era Western Heroes Vol. 1 (1948 & on) [Kid Colt, The Two Gun Kid, Outlaw Kid, Ringo Kid, et al]

This would begin to collect both of these Atlas Era Western titles.

Kid Colt Outlaw (1948) ran for a staggering 30 years and 229 issues, shipping many original stories until the end.

Two-Gun Kid (1948) is another long-running Marvel western title that never had its own Masterworks line. It lasted until issue #136 in 1977, though the final few years of the title were all reprints.

It could add other Atlas-era Western Heroes

Captain Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders & Combat Kelly and The Deadly Dozen (1967 – 1973)

This would combine the runs of a pair of spinoffs from Nick Fury’s years fronting the Howling Commandos, with Capt. Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders (1968) #1-19 and Combat Kelly and the Deadly Dozen (1972) #1-9, as well as some of their establishing appearances in Sgt. Fury.

Combat Kelly (1951 – 1957)

This would collect Combat Kelly (1951) #1-44

Marvel Romance: Chili by Stan Lee, The Silver & Bronze Age Omnibus (1969 – 1973)

This would collect Chili (1969) #1-26 & Annual 1

Marvel Romance: My Love (1949 – 1975) [by Stan Lee, Buscema, Colan, Colletta, Giordano, Heck, Romita Sr., et al]

This would collect My Love (1949) #1-4, My Love Story (1956) #1-9, My Love (1969) #1-39, My Love Special (1971) #1″
“Marvel Western by Jack Kirby (1957 & on)

This would collect Kirby’s work on Black Rider (1957) #1, Quick Trigger Western (1956) #16, Gunsmoke Western (1955) #47, 51, 59, 62-67, 69-71, 73, 77, Kid Colt Outlaw (1949) #86, 93, 95-96, 119, Rawhide Kid (1960) #17-32, 34, 43, Two-Gun Kid (1953) #54-55, 57-62, Two Gun Western (1956) #12

Millie the Model Vol. 1 (1945 & on)

This would begin to collect Millie the Model (1945) #1-207 & Annual #1-12, A Date With Millie (1956) #1-7, Life With Millie (1960) #8-20, Modeling with Millie (1962) #21-54, and Mad About Millie (1969) #1-16 & Annual 1.

Patsy Walker Vol. 1 (1945 & on) [includes Patsy & Hedy]

This would begin to collect Patsy Walker (1944) #1-124, Patsy and Hedy (1952) #1-110 & Annual 1, Patsy and her Pals (1953) #1-29, and A Date With Patsy (1957) #1

This would collect Rawhide Kid (1955) #1-151 & Annual 1, Rawhide Kid (1985) #1-4, Rawhide Kid (2003) #1-5 [MAX], Rawhide Kid (2010) #1-4.

Marvel Anthology & Miscellaneous Characters Omnibus Mapping

Atlas Era Heroes (1950 – 1957) [MMW1-3, could include Black Knight / Yellow Claw]

A vote for this book is a vote to knock out all of Marvel superhero comics of the 1950s Atlas Era in a single volume!

DC continued to publish most of their superheroes through the 1950s and kicked off the Silver Age in 1956 with the introduction of Barry Allen as Flash in the pages of Showcase (1956).

Marvel’s publishing history is a little different. It’s not just were they five years late in showing up to the superheroic Silver Age with the introduction of Fantastic Four. The majority of their output in the 1950s were war comics, westerns, and romance – with relatively few of their World War 2 era superheroes making an appearance.

Those few appearances were collected in a trio of Atlas Era Marvel Masterworks called Atlas Era Heroes Vol. 1-3, which I am very proud to have on my shelf! As we know, three Masterworks makes for a perfect omnibus – and these three books total almost exactly 800 pages. Done and done, right?!

Eagle-eyed CK readers and Tigereyes voters have pointed out that there is a fourth Masterworks that could make sense to include in this book. That would be the contents of the Black Knight / Yellow Claw Atlas Masterworks – another book I have on my shelf! While it doesn’t feature our Black Knight, Dane Whitman, this Black Knight exists on the cusp of being a “Marvel Hero” since he originates the name and design of our modern version of the character. For that reason, it’s less likely we’d see Marvel delegate reprinting it to Fantagraphics, as they have with their other Atlas Era material.

Yellow Claw is more problematic material that plays up the racist tropes and depictions of “yellow peril.” Marvel (and Disney) tend to shy away from republishing that kind of material, but along with our readers and voters I would love to see it preserved in omnibus format for its historical value.

That would only add another 240 pages to this book, so from a size perspective it’s entire reasonable to request it. Whether we could get Black Knight and Yellow Claw

This would collect the contents of the Atlas Era Heroes MMW line: Marvel Boy (1950) #1-2, Astonishing (1951) #3-6, Young Men (1950) #24-28 (starring Namor), Men’s Adventures (1950) #27-28 (including Namor), Captain America (1941) #76-78, Human Torch (1940) #36-38 (with Namor backups), and Sub-Mariner Comics (1941) #33-42.

It could also possibly add Black Knight (1955) #1-5 and/or Yellow Claw (1956) #1-4.

Atlas Era Jungle Adventure, featuring Lorna the Jungle Queen (1953 – 1955)

This would collect the contents of the MMW line of the same name featuring Lorna the Jungle Queen: Lorna, the Jungle Queen (1953) #1-5, Lorna, the Jungle Girl (1954) #6-16, Jungle Tales (1954) #1-7, and Jungle Action (1954) #1-6

That’s the full run of each of those titles, which means this would be a single, complete, one-and-done omnibus!

Atlas Era Tales Anthology Vol. 1 (1951 & on) [Journey Into Mystery, Strange Tales, Tales of Suspense, & Tales to Astonish]

This would begin to collect Strange Tales (1951) #1-66, Journey Into Mystery (1952) #1-49, Tales of Suspense (1959) #1-38 (and non-superhero features from 39-48 & 50-54), and Tales to Astonish (1959) #1-34 (and non-superhero features from #35-51 & 54).

Strange Tales had the longest-running of all of the Atlas Era Masterworks lines, with six volumes that collected Strange Tales (1951) #1-57. The first issue to appear in one of our “Monster Omnis” was issue #67 in Monsters Vol. 1: Marvel Monsterbus By Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, & Jack Kirby, with Marvel Masters of Suspense: Stan Lee & Steve Ditko Omnibus Vol. 1 not picking up until much later with issue #92.

Journey Into Mystery (1952) began as a sci-fi suspense anthology and ran for a decade before the debut of Thor in issue #83. However, the title converted to focus on giant monsters starting with issues #50-51, and at least one story from each issue from that point forward has been collected in either or both of Marvel Masters of Suspense: Stan Lee & Steve Ditko Omnibus Vol. 1 and Monsters Vol. 1: Marvel Monsterbus By Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, & Jack Kirby.

Tales of Suspense (1959) began as a sci-fi and fantasy suspense anthology and ran for four years before the debut of Iron Man in issue #39. In an intriguing move, the existing Atlas Era Masterworks line actually collects past that issue, continuing to include all of the non-superhero features from Tales of Suspense (1959) #39-48 & 50-54 in a series of four Masterworks volumes.

Tales to Astonish (1959) began as another of Marvel’s “giant monster” books and featured some of their most iconic monsters past the debut of Hank Pym as Ant-Man in issue #27 in 1961 until he took over the lead feature in issue #35 in 1962. As with Tales of Suspense, a Masterworks line of four volumes collected up to and past Hank Pym’s debut, covering all of the non-superhero stories in the title from Tales to Astonish (1959) #1-51 & 54.

Golden Age Marvel Comics Vol. 3 (1941 & on)

We already have two omnibuses in this line collecting complete issues of Marvel’s flagship title, Marvel Mystery Comics (1939). They take us up to issue #24, but this title ran until issue #92 in1949! A third Omnibus volume would need to push forward, but there is one more Masterworks volume, which means only half the material would need fresh restoration.

This would begin to collect Marvel Comics (1939) #25-92. These are lengthy issues (~60pgs) that require a lot of restoration work. Past volumes have been 12 issues; the maximum we could see in one book is likely 18-20 issues.

Golden Age Marvel Heroes Vol. 1 (1941 & on) [uncollected stories from All Winners, Daring Mystery, Human Torch Comics, etc]

We previously listed this as separate entries for each of Marvel’s Golden Age comic lines, but they all received scattered votes. We’re hoping that combining them might inspire more voters to support the call to finally recollect this material!

This would begin to collect material from All-Winners Comics (1941) #1-19 & 21, Daring Mystery Comics (1940) #1-8, Red Raven Comics (1940) #1, The Human Torch (1940) #2-38 (incl. 5b)

Krazy Komics: The Comedy Animals of Timely Comics Vol. 1 (1942 & on) [Ziggy Pig, Silly Seal, Waffles the Super Rabbit etc.]

This would begin to collect material from Krazy Komics (1942) #1-26 (32-68pgs each), Comedy Comics (1942) #9-34, All Surprise (1943) #1-8, Comic Capers (1944) #1-6, Ideal Comics (1944) #1-4, Ziggy Pig Silly Seal Comics (1944) #1-6, Super Rabbit Comics (1944) #1-14, Animated Movie Tunes (1945) #1-2, Silly Tunes (1945) #1-7, Movie Tunes Comics (1946) #3, All Surprise Comics (1946) #9-12, Wonder Duck (1949) #1-3, It’s a Duck’s Life (1950) #1-11, Super Rabbit Cuts Red Tape, Stops Crime Wave! (1950) #1, and more

M-Tech: X-51, Deathlok, & Warlock (1998 – 2000)

This begins with an X-Men crossover called The Dawn of M-Tech” which launched a mini-line of technology-focused heroes in a trio of new M-Tech titles – Deathlok (1999) #1-11, Warlock (1999) #1-9, and X-51 (1999) #1-12. We’ve had a paperback collect the crossover and Deathlok, but not the 21 issues of the other two series. Neither of them are really X-books (despite Warlock ostensibly being an X-character) – they’re their own little technology-focused, self-contained mini-line.

This would collect the entire short-lived “”M-Tech”” line and its lead-in stories from Cable (1993) #59-62 (and material from #58), Uncanny X-Men (1963) #371, X-Men (1991) #91 & Annual ’99, Deathlok (1999) #1-11, Warlock (1999) #1-9;, and X-51 (1999) #1-12.

Marvel Comics Presents Vol. 1 (1988 & on)

This would begin to collect Marvel Comics Presents (1988) #1-175.

It is tricky to map volumes of Marvel Comics Presents without seeing how a first volume would be mapped. Would it contain each issue sequentially, as the recent Marvel Fanfare omnibus did? Or, since some stories were as many as 25 installments long, would it be grouped by story?

Issues uniformly contained four 8pg stories, but also a cover, often a rear cover, and sometimes 1-2pgs of tables of contents, sometimes with unique art. That means each issue is 33-36 pages of content, which means this line of books could be no shorter than 4 volumes, and would more likely be 5-7 volumes.

That means a first volume would collect between 25-44 issues of content, or 100 to 176 story chapters.

Marvel Grand Design: Hulk & Fantastic Four (2019 – 2022)

This would collect Fantastic Four: Grand Design (2019) #1-2, Hulk: Grand Design – Monster (2022) #1, and Hulk: Grand Design – Madness (2022) #1

While this is only 240 pages of content, the X-Men Grand Design omnibus contained two more issues but was only 264 pages – so, this is line with the size of that book and could potentially be printed.

Marvel Graphic Novel (MGN) Vol 1 (1982 & on)

Lets get this out of the way: this probably isn’t likely or possible. But, we’ve said that before on this poll for books like Conan, ROM, Godzilla, and Micronauts, and look where we are today!

Marvel Graphic Novel was a premium format that emulated oversize European graphic albums, giving creators the space, format, and budget to tell feature-length stories in 64-68pgs. It stretched for 75 volumes through 1993 is most well-known for launching with “The Death of Captain Marvel” and for issues #4-5 being the debut of the New Mutants and “God Loves, Man Kills,” respectively. It later featured iconic tales like “Dr. Strange / Dr. Doom: Triumph & Torment” and “Wolverine/Nick Fury: Scorpio Connection.”

Marvel Graphic Novels released on an irregular basis and there was no continuity between issues – they came out when they came out and were numbered simply to indicate their volume in the ongoing series.

The problem with collecting this series is that many of its tales involved licensed characters or creator-owned work. There are several MGNs for Conan and one for Kull, Jim Starlin’s Dreadstar, Dave Cockrum’s The Futurians, Elaine Lee’s Starstruck, one for pulp hero The Shadow, Alien Legion, a Roger Rabbit MGN, an adaptation of Willow, and William Gibsons’ Neuromancer!

And, for those tales that include Marvel’s heroes, they’re largely already collected into the Epic Collection line and will appear in future omnibus volumes. So, there’s no real reason to need this book except for seeing the stories all in one place.

An anthology collection of Marvel Graphic Novel (1982) would collect feature length stories that were 64-68pgs. It may only be able to reprint Marvel characters and not the creator-owned stories, which means a first volume could include some or all of:

#1 – The Death of Captain Marvel
#4 – The New Mutants: Renewal
#5 – X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills
#7 – Killraven, Warrior of the Worlds: Last Dreams Broken
#12 – Marvel Graphic Novel: Dazzler The Movie
#16 – Marvel Graphic Novel: The Aladdin Effect (She-Hulk)
#17 – Marvel Graphic Novel: Revenge of the Living Monolith
#18 – Marvel Graphic Novel: The Sensational She-Hulk
#20 – Marvel Graphic Novel: Greenberg the Vampire (maybe – Marvel has reprinted this J. M. DeMatteis story before)
#22 – The Amazing Spider-Man in Hooky
#23 – Doctor Strange: Into Shamballa
#24 – Daredevil: Love and War
#26 – Dracula — A Symphony In Moonlight And Nightmares (even though Dracula is fair use, Marvel may not hold the rights to this Jon J Muth story)
#27 – Marvel Graphic Novel: Emperor Doom
#29 – Marvel Graphic Novel: The Big Change (Hulk / Thing)
#31 – Wolfpack (maybe – this is Larry Hama’s property and Marvel has reprinted it before)
#33 – I, Whom the Gods Would Destroy (Thor)
#34 – Cloak & Dagger: Predator and Prey
#37 – Hercules, Prince of Power: Full Circle
#38 – Silver Surfer: Judgment Day
#39 – The Inhumans

Marvel Pets Unleashed & Unlimited (2009 & on) [collects Lockjaw mini-series & Marvel Infinity digital pet comics]

This would collect Marvel’s various pet-focused projects from 2009 to present, including print mini-series and digital originals. Many of these are “”continuity-lite”” books that fit in with the wider Marvel 616 universe but are not strictly in continuity with it.

This could begin to collect Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers (2009) #1-4, Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers Unleashed (2010) #1-4, Lockjaw (2018) #1-4, Lucky the Pizza Dog Infinity Comic (2021) #1, Pizza Dog and Marvel Meow Infinity Comic (2023) #1-4, Marvel Meow Infinity Comic (2022) #1-24, Dogpool Team-Up Infinity Comic (2024) #1, Dogpool Infinity Comic (2024) #1-6, Cosmo the Spacedog Infinity Comic (2023) #1-6, Marvel Mutts Infinity Comic (2023) #1-12, Marvel Unleashed (2023) #1-4, Alligator Loki Infinity Comic (2022) #1-48, Dogpool Infinity Comic (2024) #1-6, Dogpool Team-Up Infinity Comic (2024) #1, Catpool Infinity Comic (2024) #1, Mousepool Infinity Comic (2024) #1, The Lovable Lockheed Infinity Comic (2024) #1-6, Strange Tails Infinity Comic (2025) #1-4, material from Alligator Loki (2023) #1, Alligator Loki Holiday Special (2024) #1, and Petpool: Pool Party (2024) #1, and more!

Marvel Preview & Bizarre Adventures Magazines Vol. 1 (1975 & on) [B&W]

Marvel Preview (1975) was a black-and-white magazine, which meant it was exempt from the Comics Code! After issue #24 in 1980 it was renamed Bizarre Adventures (1981) #25-34

We’ve seen some of its stories of Punisher, Blade, Star-Lord, Satana, and more be reprinted in character-focused collections, but it would be glorious to have whole issues reprinted in the same treatment Marvel gave Deadly Hands of Kung Fu – especially since Marvel largely owns the rights. Issues were 64 pages plus cover, so we’d likely need three volumes to get through this entire run – including after it transformed into Bizarre Adventures (1981).

This would collect all stories and features from Marvel Preview (1975) #1-24 and its successor Bizarre Adventures (1980) #25-34. Issues were as long as 64pgs.

Marvel Saga: The Official History of the Marvel Universe (1985 & on) [includes other “”Saga”” recap series]

When Marvel releases a “Saga” series, that means it is a retelling of existing stories – sometimes using excerpted panels, but sometimes with original artwork. Marvel has released a lot of super-cool Saga titles over the years (I love the Namor pair!), but this specifically refers to The Marvel Saga (1985) #1-25 – which was subtitled “The Official History of the Marvel Universe.” It was a dense and often gorgeous book retelling all of the major plot beats of the Silver and Bronze Age of Marvel.

This would collect The Marvel Saga (1985) #1-25.

It could optionally add other recap-style comics from the 80s and early 90s including The Elektra Saga (1984) #1-4, The Saga of the Sub-Mariner (1988) #1-12, Saga of the Original Human Torch (1990) #1-4, Spider-Man Saga (1991) #1-4, The Wolverine Saga (1990) #1-4.

There are many later “Saga” comics starting in the mid-00s, and any of them could be included here. However, those later issues were in the style of editorial recaps with excerpted art, compared to the 80s and 90s issues, which were full comic stories.

Marvel Season One – The Original Graphic Novels (2012 – 2013)

Marvel released an Original Graphic Novel line of modernized origin re-tellings from 2012 to 2013. That’s 11 books that were each ~128pgs, but that length is deceptive because they each included a reprint of a modern issue at the back of the book. The actual stories were between 96-104pgs, which makes this a perfect length for an omnibus.

This would collect Fantastic Four – Season One; X-Men – Season One; Daredevil – Season One; Spider-Man – Season One; Ant-Man – Season One; Hulk – Season One; Doctor Strange – Season One; The Avengers – Season One; Iron Man – Season One; Wolverine – Season One; Thor – Season One.

Marvel: Black, White, & Blood (2021 & on) [collects Marvel Universe BW&B minis]

These anthology limited series each feature 2-4 stories per issue – often with 32pg issues, all in black-and-white-and-red.

This would collect Marvel’s series of mature-readers anthology titles featuring black, white, & red artwork – Carnage: Black, White & Blood (2021) #1-4, Deadpool: Black, White & Blood (2021) #1-4, Elektra: Black, White & Blood (2022) #1-4, Marvel Zombies: Black, White & Blood (2023) #1-4, Moon Knight: Black, White & Blood (2022) #1-4, Wolverine: Black, White & Blood (2020) #1-4, Venom: Black, White & Blood (2025) #1-4, Marvel: Black, White & Blood and Guts (2025) #1-4, Logan: Black, White & Blood (2026) #1-4

This would likely not collect Star Wars: Darth Vader – Black, White & Red (2023) #1-4, Star Wars: Darth Maul – Black, White & Red (2024) #1-4, Alien: Black, White & Blood (2024) #1-4, or Predator: Black, White & Blood (2025) #1-4.

Marvel: The Holiday Specials (1991 & on) [also includes Swimsuit Specials]

This would primarily collect Marvel Holiday Special (1991), which released 10 holiday special issues in 20 years, Marvel Digital Holiday Special 2008-2010, and Marvel Holiday Magazine (2010). However, it could be extended to include end of year holiday issues and seasonal specials from titles throughout Marvel’s history, including the iconic Marvel Illustrated: Swimsuit Issue (1991) #1 and Marvel Swimsuit Special 1992-1995.

It could also add famous holiday issues of ongoing titles, or more recent holiday specials like Zombies Christmas Carol (2011) #1, Power Man and Iron Fist: Sweet Christmas Annual (2016) #1, Gwenpool Holiday Special: Merry Mix-Up (2016) #1, Merry X-Men Holiday Special (2018) #1, Mighty Marvel Holiday Special digital comics from 2021-2022, T.E.S.T. Kitchen Holiday Special Infinity Comic (2022) #1, Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish (2024) #1, Marvel Swimsuit Special: Friends, Foes & Rivals (2025) #1, Marvel Winter Break Special (2025) #1, Spider-Man: Holiday Spectacular (2025) #1, and more!

Marvel’s Star Comics Compendium (1985 – 1987) [includes original IP Planet Terry, Misty, Royal Roy, Top Dog, Wally The Wizard]

Marvel’s Star Comics imprint of kids comics in the mid-80s included three different branches of material. One was kid-appropriate versions of Marvel’s own heroes, which mostly consisted of Spider-Ham. The next was licensed comics, like Thundercats and Hanna-Barbera properties. However, Marvel also launched five comics of original kids properties in the line, and that’s what this omnibus would collect.

This would collect Marvel’s original non-licensed Star Comics IP, which included Planet Terry (1984) #1-12, [Meet] Misty (1985) #1-6, Royal Roy (1985) #1-6, Top Dog (1985) #1-14, Wally the Wizard (1985) #1-12

Marvel’s Voices Anthology (2020 & on) [collects Marvel’s Voices & Women of Marvel specials & Infinity Comics]

This would collect the one-shots Marvel’s Voices (2020), Marvel’s Voices: Avengers (2023), Marvel’s Voices: Community (2022), Marvel’s Voices: Comunidades (2021), Marvel’s Voices: Heritage (2022), Marvel’s Voices: Identity (2021), Marvel’s Voices: Identity (2022), Marvel’s Voices: Indigenous Voices (2020), Marvel’s Voices: Legacy (2021), Marvel’s Voices: Legacy (2022), Marvel’s Voices: Legends (2024), Marvel’s Voices: Pride (2021), Marvel’s Voices: Pride (2022), Marvel’s Voices: Pride (2023), Marvel’s Voices: Spider-Verse (2023), Marvel’s Voices: Wakanda Forever (2023), Marvel’s Voices: X-Men (2023), X-Men: The Wedding Special (2024) #1, Marvel’s Voices: Legends (2024) #1, Marvel United: A Pride Special (2025) #1.

It could add potentially all of Marvel’s Voices Infinity Comic (2022) #1-100 (which is only about 25 issues of content)

This could also add Women of Marvel (2010) #1-2, Women of Marvel (2021) #1, Women of Marvel (2022) #1, Women of Marvel (2023) #1, Women of Marvel (2024) #1, and Women of Marvel: She-Devils (2025) #1

Marvels Omnibus (1994 & on) [includes street-level & flashback series like Tales of the Marvels, Code of Honor, Eye of the Camera, etc]

We’ve seen Marvels (1994) recollected many times and in many formats – but never in omnibus! The question is which of its follow-ups and later emulations to also collect.

Marvel has already established a trend of collecting this alongside Marvels Epilogue (2019) #1 and Marvels Annotated (2019) #1-4, which hits 500 pages. But, that has already been an oversize hardcover as the “25th Anniversary Edition,” so there’s little point in simply regurgitating that as an omnibus.

Instead, we’d add the contents of The Marvels Companion, a paperback that collected Marvel’s mini-series and one-shots in a similar style. That included Tales of the Marvels: Blockbuster (1995) #1, Tales of the Marvels: Inner Demons (1995) #1, and Tales of the Marvels: Wonder Years (1995) #1-2, Ruins (1995) #1-2, Code of Honor (1997) #1-4 (painterly version of the Marvel Universe as seen through the eyes of a police officer), and Conspiracy (1998) #1-2.

There was also another series in a very similar vein by Busiek, Marvels: Eye of the Camera (2008) #1-6, and a Busiek-curate line of Marvels Snapshots in 2020-2021.

Busiek would return (with Ross on covers) for The Marvels (2020) #1-12, a series pulling together the Silver Age origins of the Marvel Universe into a modern day plot, similar to The Marvel’s Project (2009) #1-8 by Ed Brubaker & Steve Epting, which had a similar approach to the Golden Age.

This would collect a core of Marvels (1994) #0-4, Marvels Epilogue (2019) #1, Marvels Annotated (2019) #1-4, Tales of the Marvels: Blockbuster (1995) #1, Tales of the Marvels: Inner Demons (1995) #1, Tales of the Marvels: Wonder Years (1995) #1-2, Ruins (1995) #1-2, Code of Honor (1997) #1-4, Conspiracy (1998) #1-2, & Marvels: Eye of the Camera (2008) #1-6.

It could optionally add The Marvel’s Project (2009) #1-8 and The Marvels (2020) #1-12, which are thematically different.

And, finally, the series of “Snapshots” one-shots from 2020 and 2021, which are not quite “eye of the camera” stories but do each revisit moments of past continuity.

This would collect a core of Marvels (1994) #0-4, Marvels Epilogue (2019) #1, Marvels Annotated (2019) #1-4, Tales of the Marvels: Blockbuster (1995) #1, Tales of the Marvels: Inner Demons (1995) #1, Tales of the Marvels: Wonder Years (1995) #1-2, Ruins (1995) #1-2, Code of Honor (1997) #1-4, Conspiracy (1998) #1-2, & Marvels: Eye of the Camera (2008) #1-6.

It could optionally add The Marvel’s Project (2009) #1-8 and The Marvels (2020) #1-12, which are thematically different.

And, finally, the series of “”Snapshots”” one-shots (Avengers: Marvels Snapshots (2020), Captain America: Marvels Snapshots (2020), Captain Marvel: Marvels Snapshots (2021), Civil War: Marvels Snapshots (2020), Fantastic Four: Marvels Snapshots (2020), Spider-Man: Marvels Snapshots (2020), Sub-Mariner: Marvels Snapshots (2020) X-Men: Marvels Snapshots (2020)).

Not Brand Echh & What The–?!: The Marvel Parodies (1967 & on) [also includes Spoof]

This would collect Not Brand Echh (1967) #1-13 & (2017) #14; Spoof (1970) #1-5; and material from Daredevil (1964) Annual 1, Fantastic Four (1961) Annual 5, Sgt. Fury (1963) Annual 4, Avengers (1963) Annual 2, Amazing Spider-Man (1963) Annual 1 & 5

Then, it could also collect What The–?! (1988) #1-26, as well as other extant parody material.

Weirdworld (1974 & on) [classic & modern stories]

This would collect the contents of “Weirdworld: The Dragonmaster of Klarn” and “Weirdworld: Warriors of the Shadow Realm” (Marvel Premiere (1972) #38, Marvel Super Action (1975) #1, Marvel Super Special #11-13, Marvel Fanfare #24-26, Epic Illustrated #9 & 11-13), Monsters Unleashed (1973) #9, X-Men (2010) #16-19, Weirdworld (2015) #1-5, Weirdworld (2015B) #1-6, Squadron Supreme (2015) #1-5, Black Knight (2016) #1-5, and material from Secret Wars Journal (2015) #2

Marvel Non-Comics – Index, Handbook, & Magazine Omnibus Mapping

Crazy Magazine Vol. 1 (1973 & on)

This would begin to collect Crazy Magazine (1973) #1-94, which ran from October 1973 – April 1983. Issues were *mostly* 52pgs each, though later issues were larger and some pages were ads.

Epic Illustrated Magazine Vol. 1 (1980 & on)

This would begin to collect Epic Illustrated Magazine (1980) #1-34, which ran from Spring 1980 – February 1986. Issues were 100 pages, though some pages were ads.

FOOM Magazine (1973 – 1978) [AKA Marvel Comics Club magazine]

This would collect FOOM Magazine (1973) #1-32 AKA “”Friends Of Ol’ Marvel,”” a magazine for Marvel Comics Club members, which ran from February 1973 – Autumn 1978. Issues were typically 32pgs.

Marvel Age Vol. 2 (1985 & on)

This would continue to collect Marvel Age (1983) #35-140 & Annual 2-4, Marvel Age Preview (1990) #1-2, and maybe Marvel Age (2023) #1000!

Marvel Fun and Games Magazine (1979 – 1980)

This would collect all of the editorial and art content of Fun and Games Magazine (1979) #1-13

Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: A to Z (2008 & on) [modern Handbook series]

This would collect Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: A to Z (2008) #1-14 and Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: A-Z Update (2010) #1-5. At 3,680 pages, it would most likely take at least 3 LARGE volumes to complete.

Official Index to the Marvel Universe (1985 – 2011) [collects “Official Index” reading order guides]

This would collects Official Index To The Marvel Universe (2009) #1-14, alternately as Avengers, Thor & Captain America: Official Index to the Marvel Universe (2010) #1-15 and Wolverine, Punisher & Ghost Rider: Official Index to the Marvel Universe (2011) #1-8 (but, X-Men material was never recollected as separate single issues). Plus, there is a much older The Official Marvel Index to the Fantastic Four (1985) #1-12 that has never been collected.

Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction Magazine Omnibus (1975 – 1976)

Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction (1975) #1-6 & Unknown Worlds of Science Fiction (1976) #1

Issues (1975) #1-4 were 84pgs each, #5-6 were 76pgs each, and (1976) #1 was 100pgs – making this a suitable length for an omnibus.

Vampire Tales Magazine Omnibus (1973 – 1975)

Vampire Tales (1973) #1-11 & Annual 1 (cover only), which ranged from 68-76pgs each. Some of the material from these issues has been collected with Morbius and Blade, but not the full magazine issues.
