Mighty Marvel Calendar Book

Between 1975 and 1981, Marvel created seven consecutive calendars that were as artistically designed and captivatingly written as any of its comics. Each of these annual calendars—whether celebrating the Bicentennial (1976) or spotlighting a specific character such as Spider-Man (1978), the Hulk (1979), or Doctor Strange (1980)—featured heroes and villains from the pantheon of the Marvel Universe, and all shared inspired features. These included visual shout-outs to the birthdays of prominent Marvel team members and creators; key moments in Marvel history; special events, famous quotes from iconic issues, and other celebratory shout-outs; with exclusive art by iconic Marvel artists created especially for these calendars by Jack Kirby, John Buscema, John Byrne, Frank Miller, Walter Simonson, Gil Kane, George Pérez, Gene Colan, Jim Starlin, Sal Buscema, Mike Ploog, and others.
