The Penguin Classics Marvel Collection presents the origin stories, seminal tales, and characters of the Marvel Universe to explore Marvel’s transformative and timeless influence on an entire genre of fantasy. A Penguin Classics Marvel Collection Edition Collects Captain America Comics #1 (1941); the Captain America stories from Tales of Suspense #59, #63-68, #75-81, #92-95, #110-113 (1964-1969); “Captain America…Commie Smasher” from Captain America #78 (1954). It is impossible to imagine American popular culture without Marvel Comics. For decades, Marvel has published groundbreaking visual narratives that sustain attention on multiple levels: as metaphors for the experience of difference and otherness; as meditations on the fluid nature of identity; and as high-water marks in the artistic tradition of American cartooning, to name a few. Drawing upon multiple comic book series, this collection includes Captain America’s very first appearances from 1941 alongside key examples of his first solo stories of the 1960s, in which Steve Rogers, the newly resurrected hero of World War II, searches to find his place in a new and unfamiliar world. As the contents reveal, the transformations of this American icon thus mark parallel transformations in the nation itself. A foreword by Gene Luen Yang and scholarly introductions and apparatus by Ben Saunders offer further insight into the enduring significance of Captain America and classic Marvel comics. The Deluxe Hardcover edition features gold foil stamping, gold top stain edges, special endpapers with artwork spotlighting series villains, and full-color art throughout. Review: Bigger than I thought. - These books are really cool! My brother has autism and one of his interests is marvel and comic books so this was a perfect gift for him. I also purchased the Spiderman one for him too. He loves them a lot! The size was larger than I thought it was going to be, but that wasn't a bad surprise. Review: Captain America as Penguin Classics - Beautiful book with gilded pages. Comics are now treated as classics? About time.

Bigger than I thought.
These books are really cool! My brother has autism and one of his interests is marvel and comic books so this was a perfect gift for him. I also purchased the Spiderman one for him too. He loves them a lot! The size was larger than I thought it was going to be, but that wasn't a bad surprise.

Initially a misprint, but ultimately good
My original order of this Captain America book was misprinted, with the first 16 pages being from the Black Panther book of the same series. I returned it and ordered a new one. The second copy was correctly made. The book is good quality and provides the early view of Captain America.

Great stories
The only bad thing is the gold started coming off the cover the next day. Great Cap stories from the past and a good price for the book with fast shipping.

Father’s Day present
All three of these books were my Fathers Day presents. They are good looking and a great collection books. I can copy and paste on the other two right. They should have came as a set.

Fragile cover. Easily damaged. Great contents and design though.
Didn't arrive in great condition. Probably would've been compensated for it, but didn't make a fuzz. I got the book with a lot of damage on the golden illustration on the cover. The gold fell of. I really like the product, but did feel maybe a bookstore would've been of better help, seen the fragility of the cover.

Awesome Marvel Hardback Book!
Great hardback book that contains loads of original comic reprints. Supposed to be £40.00 but it is selling for nearly half that. Fully recommended!
