"Cool! That covers some essential Marvel history."
There's some classic stuff in that run: Gwen/Goblin, Punisher, Jackal. One of the first Spideys I ever read was the Power Records reprint of #124 with the Man-Wolf so I'm kind of partial to that part of the series.
I never read the "Marvels" graphic novel--what's that about?

The premise is an ordinary man's view of Marvel history, from its start in the 40s through the 60s. The "ordinary guy" in this case is a news photographer who makes a name for himself from his photos of what he calls the "Marvels", the superheroes of the Marvel Universe. Great story, and great art, IMHO!
