Bummer : Marvel Masterworks: Golden Age Marvel Comics Volume 1
NOTE: This review is in regards to the PAPERBACK edition.
I have been buying all the Marvel Masterworks series since Marvel Comics started releasing them in paperback editions. (And thank you, whomever at Marvel realized there may be fans who want these books, but who can't afford the hardback editions!) I knew I would be buying every single Silver Age volume...but I wasn't sure whether I would be purchasing the Golden Age and Atlas Era volumes.
As the release date for the Golden Age Marvel Comics volume approached, I decided I would buy it--after all, the beauty of the paperback editions is that they're pretty affordable. Even if I regretted my purchase, it would be a small loss, and I would then know not to bother with future Golden Age volumes.
Well, I can happily report I don't regret the purchase at all.
While some of the features suffer from the fact most comics during the time were aimed at what was viewed as their only audience--children of the Depression and WWII era--there are some really good stories contained in these books. I found Bill Everett's Sub-Mariner (also an example of some of the best drawn Golden Age material, in my opinion) and the Ka-Zar features particularly enjoyable.
One criticism people cited regarding the hardback edition of this volume--and which made me hesitate in regards to purchasing the paperback edition--had to do with the quality of the art reproduction. While I don't have a copy of the hardback edition, and I don't have copies of the original comics, I have seen a digital scan of an original copy of the second issue of Marvel Comics. The digital copy was well scanned--not a poor quality microfiche copy--and I got a clear indication of the detail of the art in the original comics. Based on this, I was impressed with the quality of the art reproduction when I received my copy of this volume. If the quality of the art reproduction was really so poor with the hardback edition, I can't help but assume Marvel took the time to fix that issue with the paperback edition.
While I'll still be "playing it by ear" in regards to other Golden Age/Altas Era volumes, this book has helped me decide to purchase future volumes of the Golden Age Marvel Comics series.
